The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 472
While Zhu Huan was bargaining with Sun Quan, Liu Chan held another battle meeting to re-discuss the next battle plan in Nanyang County.

This is because Liu Chan's previous combat plan can be said to be almost impossible to realize.

Liu Chan's plan at the time was this way: use Liao Hua's entire army and then transfer part of the army from Dangyang City to form a main force.Then equip them with a large cavalry team led by Gai Meng to encircle and wipe out Zhou Tai's army; then, use a large cavalry team to raid Zhuge Jin's camp and divide the entire Nanyang County battlefield into two.

However, with Xiong Ping and Tang Bi's return, Zhuge Jin's camp was still firmly in the hands of Wu Jun, and the previous battle plan had completely lost its meaning now.Therefore, Liu Chan must call two more military advisers and the Liao brothers, Gai Meng, Xiong Ping, Tang Bi and others to re-study the strategy.

After everyone had arrived, Liu Chan cleared his throat and wanted to start announcing his agenda for the combat meeting.

No, Xiong Ping and Tang Bi looked at each other, nodded to each other, and stood up from their respective seats.

The seats here are arranged according to the level of the people who can attend the meeting.Therefore, Xiong Ping was seated behind Liao Sheng, and Tang Bi was seated at the bottom.

Therefore, at this time, the two of them suddenly stood up from the bottom, which seemed quite abrupt.After all, Shizi has not spoken at this time, when will it be the turn of the two lowest ranks to speak?
At this time, since there were quite a lot of people present in the camp this time, Liu Chan asked someone to roll up the curtain of the tent in order to make the air better.But this kind of meeting needs to be highly confidential, so Zhao Feng's white-eared guards have already put the surrounding area under martial law, and no one is allowed to pass by.

The warm spring sun shines on the outside of the door curtain, leaving a yellowish mark on the ground.The light also made it difficult for Liu Chan, who was sitting on top of the nave, to see the expressions on the faces of Xiong Ping and Tang Bi clearly.

Liu Chan is not a person who doesn't let people talk. After seeing the two standing up, he thought that the two had something important to report, so he shut up and wanted the two to talk first.

But what made Liu Chan feel strange was that after Xiong Ping and the two stood up, they just kept bowing their hands in salute to their side, and they didn't speak any more.

Liu Chan couldn't help muttering in his heart, what happened to these two people?He coughed lightly and asked, "Why are you two like this? Today is a battle meeting. If you have anything to do, please speak up first, so as not to delay everyone's agenda."

Xiong Ping and the two quickly confessed to the son at the same time.Then, Xiong Ping's dark face turned into a maroon-purple color, obviously he had something to say that couldn't be wiped away.Tang Bi had always been cunning, but at this moment he just bowed his head and remained silent. It seemed that he believed that Xiong Ping's official position was relatively high, and it was up to him to talk about the matter.

Liu Chan saw that the two big men had something to say, so he couldn't help urging: "If you have something to say, hurry up and talk about it, what are you doing? Are you really going to give military affairs to me like this?" Are you late?"

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned from Shizi to Xiong Ping.Xiong Ping felt ashamed, Tang Bi couldn't help but gently touched Xiong Ping with his elbow.

Only then did Xiong Ping raise his head, and said to Liu Chan, "My son, the two last generals are guilty."

Xiong Ping's words were definitely beyond Liu Chan's expectation, and he asked curiously, "What crime did the two of you commit?"

Xiong Ping murmured, "The two last generals failed to complete the important task assigned by the son, which caused the son to change the battle plan again, and also dragged down the entire battle situation. It really deserves to be damned!"

Liu Chan's heart moved, this Xiong Ping is a real person!Since they returned from the defeat, he has never asked them to question this matter, but unexpectedly, he would stand up and confess the crime on his own initiative.Such a person is indeed a person who dares to take responsibility, and he is indeed a man.

In fact, Liu Chan was not angry when he learned that Xiong Ping and the two returned in failure.Because the entire battle plan was worked out by him and everyone else. Although Xiong Ping and the others are the executors, judging from the current situation, their own battle plan is not complete enough, and there is nothing wrong with the command of the two of them. .

Therefore, Liu Chan had no intention of punishing Xiong Ping at all.He just thought that it would be fine to just expose the matter, even if someone was to bear the responsibility, of course he, the commander in chief, should bear the responsibility.

After all, in Liu Chan's view, subordinates made mistakes, and as a superior, he should be responsible for them most of the time.Using subordinates as scapegoats for oneself is definitely the most shameless approach, which will only cause the morale to deteriorate and the soldiers to renounce.

Therefore, Liu Chan just waved his hand at Xiong Ping and said, "You can't blame all of you for this matter. In fact, those of us who made the battle plan need to bear most of the responsibility. We didn't expect that Lu Meng would be so powerful at the time. We went ahead and added so many troops to Mr. Zhuge Jin's camp."

Everyone felt that what the son said was reasonable, but they were all parties involved, and it was difficult for them to come out and agree with the son's point of view.

However, Xiong Ping continued: "But as the executor of the battle plan, the general should be punished if he fails to complete the task satisfactorily."

Liu Chan gave Xiong Ping an appreciative look, and said: "What you said actually has some truth. However, you should also know that if I severely punish you today, who will dare to do our best to implement the action plan we formulated in the future?" What? So, let’s leave this matter as it is, and let us all write down a small fault.”

Xiong Ping couldn't help being moved in his heart, Shizi's words sounded very caring.Tang Bi suddenly stabbed Xiong Ping lightly again, and Xiong Ping accepted Liu Chan's little punishment.

After both Xiong Ping and Tang Bi took their seats again, Liu Chan immediately announced the agenda for the combat meeting.

After a heated discussion, everyone finally re-determined the next battle plan.

Everyone believes that Zhu Huan's army, which is currently besieging Yiling City, is weak and must withdraw next.The Sun Huan army stationed in Huya Mountain was originally in a position that made the Jiangzhou army feel uncomfortable. Now that it can form a corner with Zhuge Jin's camp, the position has become more important, so it is impossible for this army to retreat for the time being. of.

Then, everyone immediately believed that the next tasks of the Jingzhou Army were temporarily determined to be two: breaking Zhuge Jin's camp and capturing Huya Mountain.

Early the next morning, Liu Chan sent a force led by Xiong Ping and Tang Bi to attack Sun Huanjun's Huya Mountain first.After they arrived at Huya Mountain, they launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Sun Huanjun.

Sun Huan was indeed a formidable character, relying on his geographical advantages, he built many fortifications on the mountain, guarding a Huya Mountain so that it was impenetrable.

And it happened by coincidence that Zhu Huan's army also retreated to Huya Mountain at this time.Facing the pincer attack of the two armies, Xiong Ping and Tang Bi were afraid that the army would lose, so they chose to retreat temporarily again.

At this time, Zhang Bao's army also landed near Yiling City.

When they came to Yiling City at the fastest speed, they suddenly found that there was no trace of the enemy outside the city.Zhu Huan's army has now retreated to Huya Mountain.

Now it is Ni Hen who is defending Yiling City.He had previously learned from Zhuge Qiao's carrier pigeon that Zhang Bao would lead an army to support him.Therefore, even though Ni Hen didn't know Zhang Bao, he was still very happy after confirming the identity of Jiangzhou Army.If it wasn't for the arrival of Zhang Baojun, Zhu Huan would have to besiege the city for a long time!

Ni Hen immediately opened the city gate and happily welcomed Zhang Baojun in.

Since then, the Jiangzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army have finally joined forces for the first time.
