Chapter 1075 Lu Bu enters Xiapi
Before Xin Ping finished speaking, a Yan army captain rushed into the tent.
Looking at the captain's panicked expression, Xin Ping's heart sank and asked:
"What happened?"
"Your Highness led his army to the vicinity of Feilong River and was attacked by the enemy general Zhang Liao.
Peng An, Chunyu Lie and other generals died in battle, and the 100,000 troops were defeated and fled!"
After hearing what the captain said, Xin Ping felt dizzy in his brain and almost fell into trouble.
He asked the captain urgently:
"Where is Your Highness?
How is your Highness?!"
"Your Highness was captured alive by Zhang Liao, and now he has probably been escorted back to Xia Pi.
In addition to Your Highness, Yan Jing, Wang Zhao and other generals were all captured alive by Zhang Liao!"
"how so?"
Xin Ping could no longer maintain his demeanor, and he sat back on the couch in despair, as if he had been drained of all his strength.
Other generals were killed and captured alive, and there was still a way to remedy them.
It doesn't matter even if the 100,000 army suffered heavy losses.
Relying on the power of the Xin family and the trust of the king, Xin Ping also has the confidence to protect himself.
However, Yuan Tan was captured alive by the Chu army, which Xin Ping could not make up for it no matter what!
It is inevitable that he will be dealt with by the King's military law, and it is very likely that the entire Xin family will be in a state of doom!
Yuan Shao’s sons are his negative scales, and they will die if they touch them.
Now the main generals of the 100,000 army are either killed in battle or captured, and only the only one who can take the blame is Xin Ping.
Looking at Xin Ping, who was confused and decadent, the captain asked softly:
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
Xin Ping raised his hand weakly and said:
"Let the generals and schoolmen in the battalion go out to collect the defeated troops, and collect as much as they can.
Settling down the defeated soldiers, just stand by in the camp..."
Xin Ping did not dare to let the army retreat, because once it retreated, it would mean being severely punished by the king.
He didn't even dare to tell Yuan Shao about the news of his just-defeated defeat.
As for commanding troops to attack Xia Pi?
That would be even more impossible. Yuan Tan and so many elite soldiers and generals were captured alive by Zhang Liao.
He was very impressed and could not help but dare to lead the lost soldiers and defeated generals to attack the city?
The only thing Xin Ping can do now is to try to gather the soldiers, wait and see what changes are happening, and look forward to the miracle.
If Zhang Liao found out and let Yuan Tan go, then Xin Ping would not have to die.
Although this hope is slim, Xin Ping still has a trace of fantasy in his heart.
In the south of Xia Pi City, a well-equipped unit is slowly approaching the city.
The general who was the leader, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd and wearing a battle robe of flowers, was Lu Bu, a general under Yuan Shu.
Lu Bu smiled at Jia Xu and Li Ru, who were sitting in the carriage:
"The two military advisors received a report from the secret army yesterday. Yuan Tan attacked Xia Pi day and night, but in the end he was unable to attack.
This boy Zhang Liao is really amazing to defend the city!
Today, our army is here, and we will definitely capture Yuan Tan's son alive and present him to the king!"
The carriage that Jia Xu and Li Ru were riding was very spacious and they had nothing to do, so they played chess in the carriage.
Jia Xu dropped the dark spot in his hand and replied to Lu Bu with a smile:
"If Yuan Tan had been defeated by General Wen Yuan at this time, what would it be General Fengxian?"
Lu Bu was stunned and said to Jia Xu:
"That's unlikely...
No matter how weak Yuan Tan is, he still has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hand. How could Wen Yuan be able to defeat the thousands of soldiers in the city?
It would be nice to be able to defend the city.”
After all, Lu Bu was Zhang Liao's old master. He had been with him for many years and still knew Zhang Liao's strength very well.
Zhang Liao has outstanding martial arts skills, is a strong man among the peerless military generals, and his ability to command troops is also very powerful.
But Lu Bu would not believe that he could lead thousands of soldiers to defeat the 100,000 Yan army.
If Zhang Liao was so awesome, how could he be so desperate by Cao ** back then?
Wouldn’t it be enough to just let Zhang Liao lead his troops to destroy Cao Cao?
"If you want to win more with less, you don't have any chance."
Jia Xu pressed his chin and analyzed to Lu Bu:
"Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao's eldest son. He is arrogant and has a noble status. He never takes others seriously.
This time, Yuan Tan led a 100,000 army to attack Xuzhou, and he must have been disdainful to the thousands of soldiers in the city.
This can be seen from his attack on the city day and night.
Such young people are prone to underestimating the enemy and advancing, and it is not uncommon to be defeated by General Wen Yuan.”
"I'll believe it after hearing what Mr. Wenhe said."
Lu Bu stared at Jia Xu and said:
"If Zhang Liao really won this battle without relying on reinforcements, I will give him a beauty!"
Jia Xu waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"I just talk casually, just let it go.
The beauty in Wenhou’s mansion can’t bear it.”
In less than an hour, Lu Bu's army entered Xiapi City.
At this time, Guo Tu had just prepared a banquet and planned to celebrate Zhang Liao's achievements.
Jia Xu and his group came by a coincidence, and they happened to attend the banquet together.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Bu, Jia Xu, Li Ru and others also learned that Zhang Liao defeated the Yan army in Feilong River, and killed several generals, and captured Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan alive.
After drinking a lot of wine, Lu Bu suddenly became excited and stepped forward and patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and said:
"Wen Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so capable of fighting now.
It seems that after I left Xuzhou, your martial arts have improved a lot.
Come on, let us brothers have a conversation and let me see what level of your strength has reached."
Zhang Liao was not willing to fight against the drunk Lu Bu, so he quickly said modestly:
"Wen Hou knows the best of what strength I am.
The reason why Liao was able to rank in the Yan army was because Yuan Tan was just a group of incompetent and mediocre talents.
When it comes to martial arts, Wen Hou is invincible.
I am definitely not a match for Wen Hou.”
Zhang Liao made such a wonderful contribution and still praised himself, which made Lu Bu feel very helpful.
He smiled at Zhang Liao with satisfaction:
"Wen Yuan said it well, he is worthy of being my good brother.
But I, Lu Bu, dare not be the one who is invincible in the world.
The most powerful warrior in the world is our king, and I, Lu Bu, are ranked second in the world, hahahahaha..."
Lu Bu laughed loudly and continued to Zhang Liao:
"Wen Yuan has made such a great achievement, and I have nothing to give to you. Why don't you give to you two beauties, right?
You don’t know that the king gave me more than twenty beauties, each of which is natural and beautiful.”
Zhang Liao's mouth twitched when he heard this. He did not have the hobby of Lu Bu and was unwilling to waste his energy on women.
"Mr. Wen is grateful for his kindness, but he already has a wife and concubine in his family, so the beauty should forget it."
Seeing Zhang Liao so bored, Lu Bu curled his lips and sighed to himself:
"If a real man lacks a beauty, what's the point of living this life?
You really don't want to enjoy it, alas...
In the words of the king, everyone in the world is so drunk that I am awake alone!”
Lu Bu was obviously drunk, and everyone no longer paid attention to him.
Jia Xu and Li Ru were both top wise men in the Great Chu. Zhang Liao humbly stepped forward and asked them for advice:
"At the end of this battle, I will be lucky enough to capture Yuan Tan alive.
Chapter completed!
