The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 444
In the middle of the night that day, Liu Chan finally got a report from Zhao Feng, saying that Captain Ni Hen had led a team to successfully kill Xie Jing and Li Yi.Today, Colonel Ni Hen has led the troops three miles away from the camp.

Liu Chan was overjoyed, and immediately asked Zhao Feng to find Shi Guangyuan, Wang Fu and Liao Hua overnight, and they were going to discuss how to recover Guan Yu's body from Sun Quan.

Later, while Liu Chan was discussing, Ni Hen's men had already arrived at the camp.Liu Chan was in a good mood, so he took Shi Guangyuan and others out of the tent to meet Ni Hen and Pulu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

When Ni Hen saw that Shizi came out of the tent to meet him in person, he was surprised at first, and then flattered.Ni Hen hurriedly brought Pulu forward to salute the prince.

Seeing Ni Hen, Liu Chan was very happy, with a happy smile on his face.He stepped forward to help Ni Hen up, and said with a smile, "Ni Hen, you came just in time! My son was discussing with the two military advisers and General Liao Hua just now after you bring back the heads of Xie Jing and Li Yi." , what should we do next!"

Ni Hen smiled slightly, and said: "The last general was able to lead his army to successfully capture Yiling City, and successfully killed Xie Jing and Li Yi, all because of the master's strategizing. The last general just acted according to the master's instructions. How much credit does An dare say?"

Liu Chan waved his hand, telling Ni Hen not to be overly modest, and his credit should be his credit.Then, Liu Chan asked about Yiling City. After all, it guards the throat of Xichuan, so it must not be neglected.

Ni Hen replied, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about Yiling City for the time being. After the last general captured Yiling City, he left 4000 people in the city to defend the city."

Liu Chan nodded. It is indeed more than enough to guard a county with 4000 people.

But at this time, a hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on Ni Hen's face.With sharp eyes, Liu Chan saw it all at once, and asked, "Ni Hen, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Ni Hen nodded, and then told about his fierce battle with Sun Huan's army in Jingmen Mountain for nearly a day.

Liu Chan heard it, and Sun Huan was his good friend.This person's battle of Yiling in another time and space was indeed when he was defending the Yidao, which made Liu Bei's army helpless, and it was impossible to take the Yidao from his hands.It's all right now, this guy is not guarding Yi Dao now, but he ran across the Yangtze River to guard Huya Mountain.

Originally, Liu Chan didn't care too much about Ni Hen's choice to retreat temporarily to avoid the attack of Sun Huan's army.He even believed that Ni Hen's decision was undoubtedly the correct one, since there were almost equal enemy troops on the mountain, and enemy reinforcements were approaching at high speed.

Therefore, Liu Chan didn't intend to blame Ni Hen at all.

However, if Sun Huan's army was allowed to control Jingmen Mountain all the time, it would be like a wedge nailed between Dangyang City, Liao Hua's camp and Yiling City, which would be really uncomfortable.In the future, I'm afraid that he must find a way to defeat Sun Huan's army and hold Huya Mountain in his own hands.

Liu Chan patted Ni Hen's arm lightly, comforted him with a smile, and the worry on Ni Hen's face completely dissipated.

Then, Liu Chan said a few more words to Prue.Seeing that Liu Chan actually recognized him, Prue was very happy.Then Liu Chan asked about the physical condition of Plu's father Sulutu, and then led everyone into the handsome tent.

Everyone immediately began to discuss the matter that was interrupted just now.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Quan received the information sent by Sun Huan from Jingmen Mountain.

After Sun Quan read it twice in detail, especially Sun Huan's report told Sun Quan that the two generals Xie Jing and Li Yi guarding Yiling City were killed by the enemy last night, and many more Junior officers in the army were also killed, and the army's chain of command had all but failed.

Seeing such news, Sun Quan was really startled, and then felt quite confused.

When the two armies clashed, it was reasonable for the generals of the defeated side to be killed by the enemy.But what puzzled Sun Quan was that on the same day, the armies of both sides did not have a particularly serious war, but the loss was three generals!This is too much of a coincidence, right?

Moreover, there was also news from Zhuge Jin that he discovered something strange after checking.When Jiang Qin led the army to fight the enemy, the enemy seemed to have dispatched elite forces to snipe and kill the generals in the Wu army.Therefore, there are almost few commanders left in the original Jiang Qin army, and the command system is almost collapsed.

Moreover, Zhuge Jin can see from the corpses of Wu soldiers left on the battlefield that ordinary soldiers have not been killed, which shows that the Jingzhou army left in a hurry after the victory.However, the heads of those generals were cut off without exception.

Even, according to the report of those Jiang Qin soldiers who fled back, some generals of the enemy army specially selected some generals of the Wu army to fight during the process of rushing to kill, and almost no one was left alive.Even Jiang Qin was killed by the enemy with a hidden arrow in the end.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin told Sun Quan without any hesitation, his own view on this matter: The intention of the Jingzhou army to raid Jiang Qin's army this time may not be what he analyzed before, it was purely a simple raid, and the opponent even May have other goals.

So, now that he actually got the news from Sun Huan again, which is similar to Jiang Qinjun's encounter, Sun Quan is a smart person, so he can't help but have some associations with the relationship between the two.

Therefore, Sun Quan immediately summoned the chief general and various civil officials to announce the fall of Yiling City and the simultaneous death of two generals, Xie Jing and Li Yi.

Jiang Qin's accidental death in battle had already caused some commotion among the army and civilian officials.Now that they had received the news that both Xie Jing and Li Yi had died in battle, it was like a calm lake with a big wave, and the sky was full of wind and waves.

After all, the loss of three generals in a row in one day definitely had a great impact on their hearts.All of a sudden, Sun Quan's tent was in chaos, everyone was discussing this matter.Only the governor Lu Meng sat quietly in his seat alone, with a cold face and no words.

Seeing the scene below, Sun Quan couldn't control himself, so he immediately coughed loudly.

The officials below hurriedly raised their heads to look at the central hall, and found that Sun Quan was sitting upright, with an unpleasant look on his face.Everyone quickly stopped discussing.

Then, Sun Quan's heart moved. It seems that this matter is really not suitable for discussion on such an occasion, otherwise it may affect the morale of the entire army.

So, Sun Quan had an idea, and said instead: "Everyone, what I want to discuss with you now is that Lieutenant Sun Huan just defeated a Jingzhou army that was trying to capture Huya Mountain. From this point of view, the enemy seems to have already Gradually launched a counterattack against our army. Everyone talked about how our army will respond next."

After everyone looked at the people around them, they were all lost in thought.

Lu Meng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Sun Quan.He had already guessed in his heart that Sun Quan did this with his heart.He immediately lowered his head and thought about it.

At this time, after whispering a few words to Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan: "My lord, there is news from our side recently that Liu Chan, Liu Adou, the son of the Prince of Hanzhong, has come down from the south of Xiangyang City to Dangyang a few days ago. The servants are wondering if Liu Chan is playing tricks on our army after encountering situations one after another in the past two days."

Sun Quan frowned.Although there are not many news about Liu Chan's performance in Nanyang County, through Jiangdong's own channels, he can probably know a thing or two.

But Sun Quan was unwilling to face this point squarely, and said, "Zibu, after Guan Yu's death, the Jingzhou army's morale was in turmoil, so they retreated to Dangyang City overnight. Liu Adou is only a teenager, how can he have the ability to command How can an army like this be able to defeat a strong general like Jiang Qin? Your words are really serious."

When everyone heard the words, they all nodded.Zhang Zhao also felt that he was really exaggerating, so he stopped talking.

Although Zhou Tai's friendship with Jiang Qin was mediocre on weekdays, but because he was angry with the Jingzhou army in his heart, he said loudly: "My lord, since the Jingzhou army dares to attack, then our army must fight back! The last general is willing to lead the army tomorrow." When an army goes out to attack, it will surely defeat the Jingzhou army!"

A smile appeared on Sun Quan's face.
