Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

After Li Dian saw Xia Houlan's condition, his face turned livid. Xia Houlan was a general of the Xiahou family. Even if Cheng Gao was lost, Li Dian did not dare to deal with Xia Houlan without permission. However, Xia Houlan's situation at this time was really unbearable.

Look directly.

"General, I feel guilty for losing Chenggao City."

Bear the price."

"General Xiahou will tell you the battle in Chenggao City in detail." Li Dian said.

Xia Houlan didn't hide anything about Cheng Gao's battle situation, and told him from beginning to end.

When they heard that Xia Houlan led the army to cut off the rear at the last moment, many generals looked at Xia Houlan obviously differently. As the leader of the army, it is extremely difficult to stand up at the last moment.

.

The generals in the army could feel that Xiahou Lan did not choose to give up at the most critical moment of the war, but led the soldiers in the army to cut off the rear.

Li Dian looked at Xia Houlan a little differently than before. Although Xia Houlan lost the battle, his actions after the war started were still remarkable. However, Zhang Shao's betrayal was too sudden.

It was a completely unexpected move that led to Cheng Gao's disastrous defeat.

Even if the same thing were done to other generals, I am afraid it would be difficult to do better. Therefore, Xia Houlan deserves sympathy, but as the commander-in-chief of the army, Li Dian must make rewards and punishments clear. Failure is failure, no matter what.

For whatever reason, Chenggao City was lost in Xiahoulan's hands, leaving Xingyang in a passive situation.

As Li Ru expected, Xingyang was not fully prepared for battle. If the Jin army approached the city at this time, it would bring great turmoil to the defenders in the city.

"General Xiahou lost Chenggao City. I will tell the prime minister the truth. Now that General Xiahou is in the army, he should fight bravely to kill the enemy and try to reduce the punishment." Li Dian said.

"Thank you so much, general. I will definitely kill more enemy troops."

His idea is to make the enemy pay a heavy price on the battlefield. Only in this way will he be willing to do so.

"The Jin army has many tricks. After you return, you should take more precautions to avoid giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it," Li Dian said.

"Here." The army generals said in unison.

Xiahoulan was not killed, which was within the expectations of the generals in the army. Xiahoulan was a general of the Xiahou family, and the generals of the Xiahou family had great prestige in the army. Like Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun was the only one in the army.

figure.

However, if such a thing happened to other generals, they would definitely be killed immediately by Li Dian.

Li Dian didn't want to kill Xia Houlan to improve military discipline, but if he did so, he would be in a lot of trouble under Cao Cao's account in the future. Li Dian wanted to win on the battlefield, but he didn't want to get into too much trouble.

Cao Cao can make the decision on such matters.

Liang Mao had no objection to such a treatment.

After the generals left, Li Dian turned his attention to Liang Mao, "Military advisor, after the enemy army breaks through Chenggao, they will definitely go to Xingyang after the baggage is transported to the city."

Liang Mao nodded slightly. The loss of Cheng Gao put Xingyang into a passive situation. With 5,000 defenders fighting against 15,000 Liangzhou troops, the Jin army captured the city at an extremely fast speed. Even if

If something happens for a reason, it will definitely cause turmoil in the army.

The desire of the lieutenants and soldiers for victory made them not retreat easily when facing the enemy. However, when the enemy showed too much strength, Xia Houlan led a thousand troops to stop the enemy's pursuit, but it was like this

The enemy was quickly defeated.

If an army loses its fighting spirit and faces a powerful enemy, they will not fight as bravely as before, but will pay more attention to their own lives.

If the enemy army adopts a frontal attack on Chenggao, the defenders in the city will definitely fight to the death and will not retreat because of the strength of the enemy army, because at that time, they have the city behind them as support, and the city behind them is not only them

The goal of protection is to provide them with a sense of security.

This is enough for the defenders. When the soldiers in the army feel uneasy, they will flee when facing the enemy.

"I, the general, did not expect that the enemy's methods were so terrifying. Mr. Lao is the one to investigate the affairs of the lieutenant general. There is no room for failure in Xingyang," Li Dian said.

"Don't worry, general." Liang Mao said: "It's just that the Jin army has many tricks, and the enemy's military adviser Lu Ru is very resourceful. Some people even suspected that Lu Ru was Li Ru, Dong Zhuo's adviser in the past."

"Li Ru?" Li Dian's eyes tightened. Li Dian had naturally heard of Li Ru's name. He assisted Dong Zhuo to enter Luoyang City and accomplished many earth-shaking events. Both Han emperors were

He died at the hands of Li Ru.

Liang Mao nodded, "Although his current name is Li Ru, he still has a well-written character. Moreover, after he took refuge with Lu Bu in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu also followed him. If Lu Ru hadn't had a certain position in Dong Zhuo's army,

If you have such prestige, how can you let Niu Fu follow you?"

Li Dian nodded with a heavy expression, "Li Ru is a ruthless person, so you should be more careful. However, if you encounter such a rebellious person, you will definitely kill him."

Liang Mao said: "The general should be careful about his own safety. The Jin Kingdom has many elite assassins. If these assassins take action, even if there are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, the general's safety cannot be guaranteed."

"Thank you, military advisor, for the reminder." Li Dian said, "This general will not give the enemy a chance."

The news about Xiahoulan's defeat spread very quickly in the army, and the fact that Xiahoulan was humiliated by the enemy was discussed by the soldiers in the army, but this kind of thing must have been done in private, no matter what

It is said that Xiahoulan is still a general in the army. If Xiahoulan learns about this kind of discussion, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

After Xia Houlan returned to the army, he rarely appeared in front of the officers and soldiers.

On the second day after Xiahoulan was sent back to Xingyang City, Yan Xing led two thousand cavalry to the outside of Xingyang City. After Yan Xing led two thousand cavalry to run around in a show of force outside the city, they set up in the south of the city.

Formation.

The two thousand cavalrymen gave the defenders a shocking feeling. The cavalrymen of the Jin army wore black clothes. From the city wall, the black cavalry team outside the city gave people a more depressing feeling.

, there are also cavalry in the army, but the cavalry outside the city gives them a different feeling.
