Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 261 The Final Battle One (Two in One)

Zhang Hong fought and retreated. Although Tian Zhang was pressing hard, Tian Zhang's army had a large number of troops and their military discipline was scattered. Tian Zhang tried his best to keep the formation in order, but he still couldn't catch up with Dong Yu's army, and could only eat ashes behind Dong Yu's army!
However, the Dongyu Army was relatively small in number, and all of them were elite and firm-willed. They even fought two ambushes under the leadership of Zhang Hong, which caused considerable losses to Tian Zhang's army. Zhang Hong's sneak attack.Instead, it gave Dong Yu's army a chance to breathe, and did not let Tian Zhang's army be wiped out.

During the journey, Liu Gui also woke up from a coma. Although he was still weak and unable to ride a horse due to internal injuries, he was no longer a problem in commanding the army and giving orders.

Xi Zhicai's cold illness had improved somewhat, but because of the bumps along the way during the evacuation, he didn't have a good rest, and started to develop a high fever again, and he is still unconscious to this day.

The doctor said to Liu Gui: "Mr. Xi's illness still lies in his recuperation, otherwise, if this continues, his condition will definitely get worse. Even if the Daluo Immortal comes, there will be no way to recover!"

Liu Gui and Zhang Hong were dejected, and could only urge the army to hurry up.

Zhang Hongdao: "General, the lord's army must be near Liaocheng now. We'd better send someone to contact the lord. With the lord's support, we can not only escape, but also hope to wipe out the enemy army behind."

Liu Gui was a little weak, lying on a stretcher and being carried by two soldiers, Liu Gui clutched his chest and said, "When we evacuated from Liaocheng, we already expected that Chu Ying would reoccupy Liaocheng, now I hope that the lord has defeated Chu Ying." English!"

"Don't worry, General, I have sent sentry cavalry to Liao City to investigate! We will know the specific news soon!" Zhang Hong said.

"That's good."

Liu Gui slowly felt a little tired, and slowly closed his eyes. After a while, snores rang out in the ears of the surrounding soldiers.

Zhang Hong rolled his eyes and rode his horse towards the front army.

"My lord, General Liu Gui's sentry cavalry is asking to see you!" Zhang Qiuming came forward to report.

Liu De was discussing some things with Xu Shu, and when he heard Zhang Qiuming's report, he was overjoyed and said, "After so long, I finally got in touch with Uncle Gui and the others! Quick! Tell him to come in!"

The sentry cavalry's face was full of dust, and he came in hurriedly, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "General Liu Gui's Bo Changshi, meet the lord!"

"Get up and talk!"

Liu De looked at Shi Qian's dry lips, and said to Xu Hu: "Bring a bowl of water to Uncle Shi!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Shi Qian hurriedly kowtowed and thanked.

"Gudu Gudu!" Shi Qian drank up a large bowl of water in an instant, and Xu Hu asked, "How is it? Do you want another bowl?"

"No need, quench your thirst! Thank you Captain Xu!" Shi Qian waved his hand and said to Xu Hu.

"Shi Qian, tell me about the current situation of Dongfu in detail!" Liu De is eager to know everything that happened in Dongfu.

"Apologize to the Lord"

Relying on the trick of crossing the sea, Guan Yu sneaked away from Tian Zhang's nose and attacked Yang Zichuan's main force.

Xi Zhicai suffers from a cold illness and cannot afford to be seriously ill.

Liu Gui defended his tent and suffered heavy injuries.

Liu Gui's soldiers and horses have been reduced from 2000 to more than [-], and Tian Zhang is still chasing after him, vowing to take Liu Gui's head.

When Liu De heard the first thing, he was quite appreciative, but when he heard that Xi Zhicai was seriously ill, his expression suddenly became tense, and when he heard that Liu Gui was seriously injured, Liu De couldn't sit still anymore .

"what!"

Liu De's eyes widened, as if the corners of his eyes were about to be torn, and he asked loudly, "How is Uncle Gui now?"

After the death of Liu De's grandfather Liu Shang, Liu Gui was the only general among the four heroes who remained 100% loyal to Liu De. It can be said that without Liu Gui, Liu De might not be able to take the position of Dongyu City Lord.

Don't forget, before Liu De crossed over, his predecessor was just a weak scholar, not good at martial arts, unable to lead the army, fond of singing and poetry, often wandering in the flower streets and willow alleys, Liu Shang has long since died and wanted Liu De to inherit mind of his place.

If such Liu De were allowed to inherit the position of Dongyu City Lord, Dongyu would have been destroyed by Donghu long ago.

Liu Shang originally wanted to hand over the position of city lord to Zhang Tianlang, but Zhang Tianlang finally gave up and burned the handwritten letter left by Liu Shang to him. There are many factors that prompted Zhang Tianlang to give up taking over Dongyu City!
Liu Gui is one of the very important factors. According to Zhang Tianlang's understanding of Liu Gui, Liu Gui will never allow anyone other than the Liu family to inherit Liu Shang's position, that is to say, the only one who can inherit Liu Shang's position is Liu De.

I am afraid that Liu Shang's handwriting may not be in charge.

At that time, when the enemy was at hand, Zhang Tianlang was also quite a traditional person. His loyalty to the emperor and patriotism deeply affected him. The emperor here refers to Mrs. Liu. I am afraid that he will be accused by the people of Dongyu, who will accuse him of deceiving the Lord when he was young and taking the position of the Lord.

After all, the people of Dongyu have been deeply favored by Liu Shang for decades, and they have long acquiesced to the status of the Liu family in Dongyu.

This is what Liu De has always emphasized, even if you fail, as long as you don't die, you can still turn around.

Jiangdong's sons are talented, and his comeback is unknown.

Jiangdong here can be replaced by Dongyu.
Another factor is that Zhang Tianlang has become more resolute and resolute after seeing Liu De's changes after his serious illness. Perhaps, if Liu De inherits the position of city lord, things will develop in a better direction.

Zhang Tianlang finally gave up on taking out Liu Shang's handwriting, but burned it, and then assisted Liu De to become the city lord.

Therefore, one-third of the credit for Liu De's succession to Liu Shang's position was due to Liu Gui.

Does Liu De know this?
know!

There is absolutely no hypocrisy in Liu Gui's feelings for Liu De, and the same is true for Liu De.

Now that Liu Gui is seriously injured, why isn't Liu De impatient?

"My lord, General Liu Gui was only injured internally, but his life is safe, please rest assured, my lord." Shi Qian said hastily.

"That's good!"

Liu De was relieved when he heard that Liu Gui was fine.

Continue to talk to Shi Qian: "Shi Qian, where should General Liu Gui be now? How far is it from us?"

Shi Qian looked at the map of Yanzhou hanging in the center of the big tent, pointed to one of the places and said, "My lord, according to my estimation, according to the speed of General Liu Gui and the others, we should have reached this location by now. According to our estimates, we only have about three days." the journey."

Liu De nodded and said: "Shi Qian, I order you to go back immediately and tell General Liu Gui that I will set up an ambush here and let General Liu Gui lead the enemy army here, and we will wipe out the enemy army with one blow!"

Liu De estimated the distance and pointed to a place.

"Understand!"

Shi Qian replied that time was running out and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he bid farewell to Liu De and drove away.

Liu De also ordered the generals to make preparations early. Tomorrow morning, they will set off from the stronghold and lay an ambush at the location Liu De pointed out, preparing to attack the invading enemy.

That night.

Liu De's large tent was still lit.The candlelight swayed gently in the breeze.

Liu De was sitting on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking, it can also be said that he suffered from insomnia.
"Lord!"

Liu De heard the voice and looked up, it turned out to be Xu Shu.

"Military teacher, what's the matter?" Liu De looked at Xu Shu and opened his mouth to ask.

"Shu Te came to solve my lord's confusion!" Xu Shu cupped his hands and bowed.

"It's still the military adviser who understands me!" Liu De shook his head and smiled wryly, nodding and admitting that he had a lot of things to say in his heart, and these words had been in his heart for a while.

"According to the current situation, although Yang Zichuan still has an army of tens of thousands, he has already fallen into a passive position. The food and grass are not enough, the morale of the army is unstable, the general died in battle, and he was surrounded on both sides. He looks extremely powerful, but in fact he is already extremely weak." Xu Shu said .

"But Yang Zichuan still has a chance to make a comeback, that is, the army of the Yang family in Beiping outside Jinyang Pass, General Yan He can last for two months, and now more than half a month has passed, we don't have much time, we must fight Yang Zichuan as soon as possible !" Liu De said calmly, still maintaining his sobriety.

This is the news I just got from Shi Qian. When I first heard the news, Liu De suddenly realized that this is Yang Zichuan's biggest asset.

"That's what the lord said!"

"But I will never give Yang Zichuan another chance to come back!" Liu De stood up and said, "It's time for Yang Zichuan to pay the price!"

After hearing this, Xu Shu said: "When Yang Zichuan is defeated, although our alliance with General Guo still exists, there will be a battle sooner or later!"

Liu De also knows this situation, although they can get along peacefully and intimately now, it is because of the great enemy Yang Zichuan, if Yang Zichuan is defeated, then the battle between Dongyu and Dongfu will be brought to light immediately!

Liu Dedao: "Although the battle with Yang Zichuan was not too long, and it was insignificant compared with the famous big battles in history, this battle directly used up all of our East Yu's grain, grass and ordnance reserves. , and the soldiers also suffered heavy losses, and it will take at least one or two years to gradually recover, but will Guo Zidong give us this time?"

"What's more, we have such a large territory, but we have no talents to manage it. It is very easy to recruit and surrender those ten counties with Mr. Xun's ability, but who should we send to govern? The current county magistrates are not mediocre People who are mediocre are those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is a blessing to have one or two out of ten of our government orders!"

"Our current military strength can't control such a large territory at all, and there are a lot of bandits in Yanzhou. Exterminating bandits will make us tired of coping!"

"There is also Liaocheng, don't look at the aristocratic families in Liaocheng who are now surrendered to me, but if Guo Zidong's soldiers come to the city, I don't know how many families will secretly inform Guo Zidong. After all, Guo Zidong is the real family background! With the interests of these aristocratic families like them match."

Liu De may have been holding back for a long time, and he said everything he wanted to say to Xu Shu in one go.

"My lord, today the world is controlled by aristocratic families, but there are a large number of loyal and righteous men, humble scholars, and virtuous people in the field. Now only by issuing the recruitment order again can we solve our current crisis!" Xu Shu said to him. Liu De remonstrated, "The great families are all for their own selfishness, and they will never help us sincerely. Only by issuing a recruitment order, relying on the lord's reputation, there must be a large number of poor families who seek refuge."

"The military adviser is right! It's just that a certain family issued a recruitment order in Dongyu back then, which didn't affect only three or five counties, and it attracted criticism from the aristocratic family. When a certain person defeated Yang Zichuan and issued a recruitment order, I'm afraid these aristocratic families will really go crazy!" Liu De thought of the faces of those aristocratic families, and couldn't help but said with a smile, "And they will be more inclined to Guo Zidong! Guo Zidong will protect the interests of the aristocratic families! This is not good for us."

"Those aristocratic families are nothing more than the howls of hyenas! Although it is not beneficial to us in the short term, it is definitely beneficial and harmless in the long run. My lord does not want to be constrained by the aristocratic families in the future!

What's more, children from aristocratic families who really have real talents and real learning don't care about those children from poor families who come out in the first place, they will only be loyal to those masters who can really let them display their talents!Compared with the children of poor families, the aristocratic families have too many resources. Even the middle-aged people can become the pillars of a country by relying on these huge resources. "

Xu Shu said so.

"What the military adviser said is right. Once Yang Zichuan is defeated, we will issue a recruiting order to invite the world's heroes and talents!" Liu De made a decision with a big wave of his hand.

"My lord is wise!"

Xu Shu bowed and said, "My lord, I have one more thing to do!"

"Military division please speak."

"I have two good friends, Shi Tao and Meng Jian, both of whom are great talents in the state. They are quite familiar with government affairs and have the ability to govern the country and stabilize the people. I recommend Shi Tao and Meng Jian to my lord."

Liu De felt familiar with the names of these two people, but he didn't think much about it. Since he was Xu Shu's friend, he must have good ability, so he said with a smile: "If you are a friend of a military adviser, you must have a great talent! If these two come, someone will definitely be appointed as an official!"

"Thank you, my lord, on behalf of my two friends! I have already written to them, and my lord will see them soon."

"Then I'll be waiting for you!" Liu De and Xu Shu looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Under Dongfu City, Yang Zichuan's army did not know when the news that Liaocheng had been breached began to spread. For a while, people's hearts were fluctuating, and their combat power was even more sluggish. More than half of Yang Zichuan's army was from Liaocheng and its nearby counties. When it comes to the news that Liao City has been destroyed, where can we sit still?

The violent brothers Dong Zhen and Dong Han even arrested several soldiers who talked about this matter and sentenced them to death. For a while, all the soldiers were silent, and they never dared to talk about this topic in private.

But the undercurrent is surging, and the Dong brothers are quite satisfied with their masterpiece, but how long can the order maintained by killing people last?

"Mr. Cui's strategy is really powerful, Yang Zichuan's army won't last long!"

Guan Yu looked at Yang Zichuan's rather quiet camp from the top of the city, and praised Cui You.

"General Guan is absurd!"

Cui You humbly said, "Right now, we are waiting for General Anbei to lead his army, and we will attack Yang Zichuan's army from both sides! If I were Yang Zichuan, I would definitely spend it all the time. We can't give him time until the Jinyang Pass is broken. The delay has continued! I wonder when General Anbei will arrive?"

The last sentence asked Guan Yu.

Guan Yu turned his head and glanced at Cui You: "My lord will be here soon!"

"I hope so."

Cui You nodded, and then went down the city.
