The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

The officer who accompanied the army shook his head, then lowered his head and said, "My lord... There are a total of [-] casualties today!"

"What!" Lu Bu was startled, the wine glass in his hand trembled violently, and then Lu Bu stood up and asked again, "How many people did you talk to?"

"My lord, today our army has been wounded by [-] people, and killed more than [-] people, a total of more than [-] people!" The officer hurriedly folded his hands and repeated it again.

Lu Bu glanced at the officers in disbelief, and then murmured, "How come there are so many?"

Lu Bu felt puzzled in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little bit of fear. If he tried to fight at this speed, I am afraid that in ten days, his men and horses would be completely damaged.

Afterwards, Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "The number of people injured has doubled from yesterday. What is the reason?"

"My lord, there are many more archers in Li Cunxiao's army, and once the bows and arrows they use are shot, it is difficult to pull them out. Even if the arrows are taken out, the soldiers can't continue to fight. So many casualties!" The accompanying officer hurriedly explained.

Lu Bu nodded. He knew the arrows used by Liu Rui's army. The penetrating power and lethality of such shoulders are very strong. The most important thing is that once they are hit by such arrows, they will cause a large area after being drawn. The bleeding or tearing out a bigger wound, as a result, if this ordinary soldier is hit by an arrow, it will take a long time to cultivate before he can fight again.

"Remove all the door panels in the town, and block them on the wall of the village tomorrow, and use them as shields for the soldiers!" Lu Bu said with a clever idea.

And the accompanying officer, after being stunned for a while, suddenly said with joy: "My lord is wise, in this way, we can guard against Li Cunxiao's archers." , . . .

672: The princes are helpless

Lu Bu had just thought of a way to deal with it, and Liu Bei had already sent someone to look for it.

When Lu Bu rushed back to Xinye City in the dark, he discovered that the generals of the eight-way troops who had set out earlier had all returned here.

"Fengxian, you're finally back!" When Liu Bei saw Lu Bu, he hurriedly grabbed Lu Bu's arm, and while walking into the tent, he asked, "How are the casualties on your side?"

Lu Bu didn't hide it. Even though he told Liu Bei about the casualties in the past two days, he didn't expect Liu Bei to hear about it. He frowned and said, "Fengxian, Xuande and I both thought this was Liu Rui's conspiracy. Now it seems that it is so!"

Lu Bu nodded. Although he didn't know what Liu Rui wanted to do, it was easy to see that Liu Rui's abnormal behavior really made Lu Bu feel a little uneasy.

"Xuande, what conspiracy is Liu Haosheng playing?" Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then asked.

Liu Bei shook his head, and then sighed: "When the military advisors arrive later, let them think about whether there is any countermeasure."

While they were talking, the two had already arrived in the tent. Cao Cao and Sun Ce were chatting with the remaining seven generals about the past few days, but the seven generals were all dignified now.

Lu Bu clearly remembered that at the beginning he used retreating troops to threaten Liu Bei and Cao Cao to send troops, and when he set out on the expedition, these eight generals were all happy.

Now it seems that these generals have encountered the same problems as Lu Bu.

"Everyone, the casualties on Fengxian's side have been counted. We have already lost nearly [-] troops in this short period of time!"

"What!" Lu Bu looked at the crowd in surprise.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side also bowed their hands with shame: "I didn't expect that we have lost so many people without knowing it!"

"Everyone, I'm afraid this is the trick of Liu Rui and Liu Haosheng!" Cao Cao opened his mouth to look at everyone present, and then smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, we are asking for trouble. Then Liu Rui wants to occupy the town, let's Just let him go to occupy it. We soldiers and horses have given up the high and thick walls of Xinye City, but instead ran to the low walls of various towns, aren’t we asking for trouble?”

Cao Cao's words immediately made everyone present suddenly realize.Lu Bu also clenched his fists angrily and sighed, "This Liu Haosheng is so treacherous!"

After a pause, Lu Bu remembered the incident he insisted on sending troops before, and couldn't help but regret it, and even opened his mouth and said, "Xuande, Mengde, Bofu, what happened this time is my fault! If it wasn't for me at that time. If you have to send troops, I am afraid there will be no losses now."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Fengxian, don't do this. If it wasn't for you who had to send troops that day, I'm afraid we wouldn't know what Liu Rui was going to do now!"

Everyone nodded silently. Although there are many [-] horses, but the princes present, which family has fewer people!Now in Xinye City, there are hundreds of thousands of people.Besides, these [-] horses were not innocently killed. In this offensive and defensive battle, Liu Rui's subordinates also suffered casualties.Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

Thinking of this, Cao Cao opened his mouth to comfort everyone and said: "You don't need to be sad, although we lost [-] horses, Liu Rui will lose at least [-]. Besides, now that we know what the other party wants to do, there is no need to stick to each other. I'm in town, I think it's better to start withdrawing troops now!"

"What Meng De said is very true, Fengxian, what do you think?" Liu Bei, who was beside him, agreed, and then he looked at Lu Bu.

How could Lu Bu object, even if he clenched his fist in annoyance and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't kill Li Cunxiao on the spot, otherwise I wouldn't suffer in this battle."

Many generals were a little sad when they heard Lu Bu's words.Among these people, there are still people who are injured.They were all left over from fighting with the generals under Liu Rui a few days ago.Lu Bu was already the strongest general in this group, but even so, Lu Bu did not take advantage of Li Cunxiao's hands.

"I'll let my generals withdraw right now!" Sun Ce also spoke, paused, and then looked at everyone present: "But after we withdraw our troops, we should also consider what to do next! Fengxian was in a hurry that day. What he said when we dispatched troops is actually true, if we let Liu Rui attack the city and loot the land, I am afraid that our Xinye City will become an isolated city by then."

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Liu Bei and Cao Cao nodded again and again, and Lu Bu also said, "Let's wait for the military advisors to come. After such a long time, they should already have some plan."

The previous strategy of Xi Zhicai and Chen Gong failed, but Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and other five advisors joined forces to set up a great formation, but Liu Rui was defeated.And then Jia Xu's personal shot, although it caused some trouble for Liu Rui, but it also made Cao Cao notorious, which directly led to Gao Shun's uprising in the rear.

This series of events made Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others feel a little dissatisfied with these advisors, so when Lü Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce discussed sending troops, they did not ask their advisors for advice.But now it seems that with the wisdom of many generals present and Cao Cao Liu Bei and others, it is obviously impossible to guess Liu Rui's true intentions.

All of the people present were well aware of these things, so when Lu Bu asked about the military advisors of each family, everyone was silent.When Liu Bei hurriedly sent someone to urge Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others, it didn't take long for the advisors under the command of the four princes to arrive here again.

It's just that the faces of these people are obviously not very good-looking. Liu Bei and Cao Cao sent troops directly, and did not ask them what they meant by their advisers. How could Pang Tong, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu and others not guess.

It is precisely because of this that the faces of several people are a little unsightly.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Cao Cao sighed lightly, then got up and said to Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu, "Zhi Cai, Wen He, I neglected you two earlier, Cao Mengde is here. Can't I accompany you here!"

Cao Cao's move surprised everyone present!You must know that Cao Cao is one of the princes, not to mention that there are many people present. Cao Cao's actions have obviously given Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu great face.

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu looked at each other, and both hurriedly returned the salute: "Master, please don't do this, because your subordinates are too incompetent to share your worries with the master!"

Hearing what the two of them said, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Where is it, I remember the credit and hard work of the two of you clearly, but Liu Rui was a little crazy a few days ago, so he ignored it. two."

When Liu Rui was mentioned, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu's expressions turned slightly sideways, and then they remained silent and didn't say more.These two people were originally geniuses, and every time they proposed a strategy, even if it was not perfect, it was not useless, but every time Liu Rui saved it from danger, and even every time the strategy failed, it would lead to worse things. the result of.

Therefore, Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu's feelings towards Liu Rui are extremely complicated.

The other four advisors, Chen Gong Sima Yi and Pang Tong Zhou Yu, all looked at Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu with some envy.The last time the strategy failed, although these people did not receive much blame, but Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Sun Ce were clearly despised and dissatisfied with them. , , .

673: Analyzing the Pros and Cons

However, it was obvious that Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Lv Bu did not have the same heart as Cao Cao. Liu Bei just nodded apologetically towards Pang Tong and Sima Yi, while Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, while Lu Bu just looked at it. Looking at Chen Gong, he didn't say anything.

Seeing the expressions of Liu Bei and the others, Cao Cao also laughed, and then he said: "Okay, I invited all the military advisors to come here today to ask what kind of conspiracy Liu Rui is playing. It's good to be able to prescribe the right medicine!"
