The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 952
Everyone waited in the big tent for about half an hour.

Only then did some generals finally come to meet Liu Chan, presumably because the war had just ended and there were too many things to deal with.

Gai Meng was the first to rush to Liu Chan's big tent. Seeing that Zhuge Qiao and Meng Xi were there, he nodded kindly to them, and then went forward to salute Liu Chan.

Liu Chan then said to Gai Meng: "Gai Meng, you immediately lead the army to Duyang City. You fought the battle last night, and you know better than anyone else how many enemies have escaped. I'm not sure. It's not that I went to Duyang City with the defeated army, but we know that the Qianghu army lost all their food and grass last night. They may have to kill horses to satisfy their hunger on the way to escape. In my army, only your cavalry has With the advantage of speed, you should be able to catch up with them. So, you should start now and rush to Duyang as quickly as possible."

Gai Meng nodded, and after making a promise, he immediately turned around, but was stopped by Liu Chan.

Liu Chanyu urged earnestly: "If the enemy is pushed into a hurry by you, they may enter Duyang City in desperation, and want to rely on the city to avoid your pursuit. Don't worry when the time comes, you can surround the city Don't rush to attack, just wait until the follow-up troops arrive."

At this time, Gai Meng suddenly asked a question, "Your Majesty, are you sure they are fleeing towards Du Yang?"

Liu Chan pointed to Meng Xi and said with a smile: "You have to ask Meng Xi this question, he is very sure in his heart. If the Qiang Hu army flees to the south, they can only pass through Duyang, cross Qishan Mountain to the vicinity of the Weishui River, and then Flee west to Liangzhou. Du Yang is the place where Du Yegao's men and horses must pass."

Gai Meng looked at Meng Xi, who nodded to him.

The two had worked together for a long time, and they had been cooperating on the battlefield. It was only after Meng Xi returned to Lu Xun's command that they separated.

Gai Meng then said: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the enemy did not directly enter the city, but fled to Qishan?"

Liu Chan said bitterly: "If that's the case, you should give up the pursuit. When the time comes, the army will return to Fufeng County. You will wait for us in Duyang to go back together."

Meng Xi asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, why did you withdraw? We will eliminate them at a high rate, and there will be no enemies in Anding County. We can take back several counties in Anding County very smoothly. Such a good thing, why doesn't Your Majesty want it?" Woolen cloth?"

Liu Chan said bitterly: "I thought so too. But after the first battle last night, our troops lost a lot, and the number of downsizing actually reached nearly [-]. Besides, the soldiers are exhausted and need to rest urgently. .In addition, our logistics supply line has not yet been extended here, and food and grass have become tight. If we don’t withdraw now, who will provide food and drink for the army?”

Then, Liu Chan glanced at Meng Xi again, and said: "Anding County is a small county with a large area and few people. What I mean is, even with your men and horses under Meng Xi, all the problems can be solved, and all the problems will be solved smoothly. Take it down. If all 3 people of our army pass by, the problem of food and grass is too difficult to solve, and it is really unnecessary.”

Meng Xi smiled, thinking that His Majesty might want to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, so he said: "The last general accepts His Majesty's will."

Liu Chan also smiled.In fact, he was just making an analogy just now, but Meng Xi took the order first. It seems that this Meng Xi is also very flexible behind the simple and honest!

Then, Meng Xi said: "I don't know if His Majesty can appoint a guide for the last general. After all, we are not familiar with the stable environment of the land."

Of course Liu Chan would agree, and said: "Yes, you can take anyone you need. If you can capture the speed on the road, it will be more credit than regaining Anding County. But I suggest you, you can go to Qianghu They have lived in Liangzhou all year round, so they must be more familiar with the local conditions than we are."

The people in the big tent heard the words and felt that Liu Chan's method was indeed appropriate.

However, what Liu Chan did was tantamount to not giving anyone to Meng Xi. Meng Xi was still put on by Liu Chan, and everyone couldn't help laughing.

Then, Liu Chan, Zhuge Qiao and others sent Meng Xi out of the big tent, telling him to hurry up and get ready to send troops immediately.

However, Meng Xi didn't have to worry too much, because Gai Meng's cavalry could act first.

Not long after, Lu Xun, Xiong Ping, Wu Ban, and Wu Yicai hurried over here at the same time. According to Liu Chan's rules, horses are not allowed to gallop inside the barracks, so they dismounted outside the gate of the village.

The four of them immediately came forward to salute Liu Chan.

Seeing that Xiong Ping had bandaged several wounds, Liu Chan asked with concern, "How are your injuries? Are you okay?"

Xiong Ping shook his beard, made a strange face, grinned and nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, the general is doing well, this little injury is nothing at all!"

Seeing Xiong Ping's brave appearance, Liu Chan couldn't help laughing and said, "If you're dying of pain after you go back, don't say I didn't send a doctor to treat you."

Lu Xun said with a smile, "Before His Majesty sends a doctor to see General Xiong Ping, he should go there to assassinate him first, because he did not obey His Majesty's orders."

Liu Chan is much more tolerant now than before, and he also knew that Lu Xun's words were mostly jokes, but he smiled deliberately: "That's right, General Bo Yan, hurry up and count how many generals didn't follow my orders last night. , you take my place and let them report to the assassin."

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Lu Xun's face.

But Xiong Ping laughed twice and said: "General Lu is definitely not willing. Because even General Zilong went to the battlefield to fight in person this morning!"

Liu Chan also laughed when he heard the words, and then asked Zhao Feng where Zhao Yun was now.

Zhao Feng replied: "My master is currently visiting the wounded soldiers in the field hospital."

Liu Chan nodded movedly, and Zhao Yun was indeed a nursing soldier.

Then, Liu Chan turned back to the topic and said, "Now let's get back to business, I need you to leave immediately and rush to Duyang."

He said his thoughts once again, and then said: "If Du Yegao occupies Du Yang and is surrounded by Gai Meng's troops, he will definitely break through. So you should hurry up and get to Du Yang as early as possible support."

The four immediately got up and said goodbye to Liu Chan.

But among the four people, each person's face is different.Lu Xun and Xiong Ping were very happy, Wu Ban was very calm, and Wu Yi looked a little melancholy.

Because since he entered Liu Chan's camp, Liu Chan talked and laughed with Lu Xun and Xiong Ping, but he and Wu Ban didn't even look at them.

The moment Wu Yi walked out of the big tent, he finally couldn't help but look back at Liu Chan.

Liu Chan was taken aback for a moment, and felt that he shouldn't treat Wu Yi like this, after all, he also made great contributions last night.

He suddenly raised his hand and waved to Wu Yi, and said, "General Che Qi, although this trip is not very dangerous, but you have to take care along the way, hope to go back sooner."

Wu Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and then his heart felt hot, knowing that Liu Chan was not a heartless person.

Then he turned around and knelt down to Liu Chan, and said, "Your Majesty, please take care too."

Liu Chan nodded, and Wu Yi got up and left.
