The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 489
On the other hand, news of Xiong Ping's unfavorable battle in Huya Mountain was continuously transmitted back to Liu Chan's place at the fastest speed.At first, Liu Chan didn't have too many doubts about this. After all, Xiong Ping is attacking now, and the enemy has been stationed in Huya Mountain for a long time, so a lot of fortifications may have been built.Therefore, if Xiong Ping wants to conquer Huya Mountain, it should not be something that can be done in a day and a half.

At the same time, Liao Hua's army in Zhijiang County won first, and then the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and the two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

Furthermore, Zhang Fei's army was blocked by Zhu Ran's army in Jingmen Mountain, and it was difficult to find a breakthrough for a while, so it was also sent back to Liu Chan's location.

Liu Chan originally wanted to fight Wu Jun in Nanjun in one fell swoop, but now such a situation happened, which made him a little surprised.He just realized that he really underestimated Soochow's strength.

Liu Chan couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and began to rethink the solution.

As these news continued to come back, because the matter was still relatively serious, Liu Chan just wanted to hide them all.What's more, he didn't have the idea of ​​hiding it at this time, and there was no need for that at all.

But someone keenly sensed an opportunity from these news.

Today, with Zhuge Qiao's assistance, Liu Chan handled military and civil affairs in his tent.Although most of the army has already set off, there are still a lot of things to deal with.At this time, Liu Chan couldn't help but miss the days when Ma Liang and Wang Fu were around.

Wang Fu originally stayed to assist Liu Chan in handling daily affairs, but because Xiong Ping was unfavorable in the battle, he had not made any progress in the battle against Huya Mountain, so Liu Chan sent him out to help Xiong Ping.

But after Wang Fu passed by, the effect didn't seem to be very great.

At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly opened the door curtain and walked in, saluted Liu Chan, "Your Majesty, General Zhang Bao has something to see."

Liu Chan raised his head and glanced at Zhao Feng. Seeing his calm expression, he knew that Zhang Bao would not be in a hurry to see him.He put down the business at hand and asked Zhao Feng to welcome Zhang Bao in.

Zhao Feng immediately took the order and led Zhang Bao in.

But what makes Liu Chan feel strange is that Zhang Bao is now neatly dressed all over his body, even with a black helmet on his head, which is lined with the black armor on his body, which is really very majestic.

But the reason why Liu Chan felt strange was because there hadn't been any wars happening on Dangyang's side recently, so why was Zhang Bao all dressed up when he was fine.Moreover, since the last time he fought with Gai Meng, he used a helmet to cover up the bruises on his face, which was passed on as a joke by the soldiers, and he has hardly been seen wearing a helmet recently.

It seems that Zhang Bao really came to see him for something today, and Liu Chan couldn't help but move.

After Zhang Bao stepped forward to meet the ceremony, Liu Chan immediately asked with a smile: "Brother, why are you dressed like this today? You are not going to go to war."

But Zhang Bao cupped his hands and said solemnly: "My lord, the last general is about to go to war."

Now Liu Chan was even more surprised, and said: "Where are you going to go to the expedition, this prince has not issued an order for you to go to the expedition?"

Zhang Bao immediately replied: "My son, the general has heard that General Xiong Ping has not achieved any results in fighting in Huya Mountain for many days. Therefore, the general dared to come to ask the prince. Although the general did not dare to take Xiong Ping The position of the general's leader, but please let the last general lead the troops to support General Xiong!"

Only then did Liu Chan understand Zhang Bao's intention to be fully armed.

In fact, Liu Chan was really worried about the battle in Huya Mountain these two days.But the problem is that the battle at Huya Mountain is not actually the key to Nanjun's current occupation.The key to this battle in Nanyang County is actually the Zhijiang camp.

Today, the fighting there is in full swing.Shi Guangyuan also worked hard to get serious, going to the front line with Liao Hua to command the battle every day.Although it turned out that they won more victories, most of them were only small victories, and they were still unable to break through the defense line of Wu Jun's Zhijiang camp for a while.

It was for these reasons that Liu Chan had already started discussing with Zhuge Qiao whether he should issue a secret order to Xiong Ping to attack Huya Mountain for another two or three days.If he still can't capture Huya Mountain when the time comes, he can surround Huya Mountain firmly and cut off the connection between the Soochow Navy and them.

Now Zhang Bao suddenly came to ask him to lead his troops to support Xiong Ping's army?The first reaction in Liu Chan's heart was that Zhang Bao was crazy about wanting to go out to fight.The second reaction in his heart was that it was impossible for him to agree to Zhang Bao's request.It is better to reinforce Liao Hua's army than to reinforce Xiong Ping's army!

Just when Liu Chan was about to reject Zhang Bao, Zhao Feng suddenly entered the big tent again, saying that General Gai Meng was waiting outside to be summoned by the son.

Liu Chan couldn't help but wonder why these two people came to see him on the same day.He suddenly had a faint feeling in his heart, wouldn't this Ge Meng also come to ask him to support Xiong Pingjun?

When Gai Meng came in and finished saluting, the first sentence he uttered was indeed to ask Liu Chan to let him lead the army to support Xiong Ping's army.

Seeing that Gai Meng suddenly intervened in this matter, Zhang Bao's face immediately turned red, and he said angrily to Gai Meng: "General Gai, don't talk about this matter anymore. This general has already asked the prince for his life first!"

Gai Meng glanced at Zhang Bao, naturally he would not flinch, and said: "So what if I ask for my life first? Hasn't the prince not promised you yet?"

The two immediately stared wide-eyed, almost quarreling again.It can be seen that the confession between the two of them that day was indeed a scene, and the two sides still dislike each other up to now.

Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Chan felt that the two were too noisy.Then, his heart moved, there is competition to be motivated, why not let them support Xiong Pingjun together.

Liu Chan had made up his mind, so he said, "Don't quarrel, both of you. My son will send you two to lead 500 soldiers each to Huya Mountain for reinforcements. If anyone of you takes down Huya Mountain first, you will be killed when you come back. There must be a reward on the side of the world!"

The two were overjoyed, and immediately accepted the order. After glaring at each other again, they immediately took their leave and went to prepare for the expedition.

Zhuge Qiao didn't expect the son to make such a decision, and asked: "My son, the two generals are still at odds. Is it appropriate for you to let them lead the army together?"

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Try it, maybe it will work?"

It can be seen that Liu Chan actually has no idea about such an arrangement.Zhuge Qiao even wondered in his heart, did the prince send them away by doing this to keep his ears clean?
