After a few days, Liu Bei's side suffered heavy losses. Within three or four days, more than 30,000 soldiers died in the battle, of which more than 10,000 were on Liu Bei's side, and the rest were soldiers of the Jingzhou Army on Wenpin's side.

Even so, Liu Bei had no intention of stopping.

There is a tendency of both jade and stone to perish together.

Even though Wenpin repeatedly warned him, he did not take it. When Wenpin wanted to refuse the siege order, he directly pressured him with military orders, forcing Wenpin to follow suit.

After all, Liu Bei is the nominal supreme commander here, and he must obey Liu Bei's orders.

However, this does not mean that Wenpin is completely convinced. He is Liu Biao's man. While he obeys the orders openly, he also secretly sends someone to deliver a letter to Liu Biao explaining the situation here.

He already had a bad feeling.

After the two generals Guan and Zhang were captured, Liu Bei went crazy. If he continued like this, let alone defeating Zhao Yun, their Jingzhou would even be in danger of being destroyed.......

"Zhao Zilong! If you dare, let me out and we'll fight for another three hundred rounds! What kind of hero do you think you are if you lock me up?"

In the temporary dungeon in Fancheng, Zhang Fei was imprisoned in a prison with an iron fence, and he kept shouting.

"Zhao Zilong! You are a coward! If you have the guts, let me out! Let's fight again!"

"Zhao Zi....."

Listening to Zhang Fei shouting over and over again with his loud voice, Guan Yu in the prison next door had veins popping out on his forehead, and he deliberately scolded Zhang Fei to shut up.

But in the end it turned into a sigh:"Hey....."

He looked up at the top of the prison, his thoughts wandering a little:"How did we end up in this bad situation? Have we been slacking off over the years? Then Zhao Yun is much younger than my third brother and I, and he has already broken through to the supreme level. We have reached the Martial Saint Realm, but my third brother and I are still in the first-class state. We have not even reached the peak of the first-class state. Alas,......"

Thinking of this, Guan Yu felt frustrated.

"I don’t know what’s going on with my eldest brother! I hope he can calm down! otherwise...."

Without his and Zhang Fei's help, Liu Bei's outcome would probably not be good.

Guan Yu was actually very anxious, but he knew that it was useless to be anxious. Zhao Yun could not let them out.

At the entrance of the prison

, several guards were also chatting in low voices.

"This guy is really energetic! How many days has it been? He is actually so powerful!"

"I think so! He just ate too much! Hungry for a few times and see if he's still so energetic!"

"Ho ho! This is not a bad idea! Although the general ordered not to treat them too harshly, he did not say that he must treat them well! I'll go say hello to the Huotou Army later and cut their food in half! See you again tomorrow, hehe....."

"Then leave it to you, Brother Zhang!"

"This guy has such a loud voice! It's so noisy that my ears are buzzing! I suspect if I stay here too long, I might become deaf!"

"Ha ha! Who says it's not?".......

Three days ago, Sili was here.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong led 150,000 troops and suddenly invaded Sili territory.

Taking Cao Hong's 30,000 troops as the vanguard, they attacked Zhongmu directly.

On Zhongmu's side, they were attacked by 10,000 cavalrymen led by Ma Dai and lost 3,000 men and horses. After that, Ma Dai led his troops to withdraw.

Cao Hong continued to lead his troops to attack Guancheng. Here, he was ambushed by Ma Dai's army again and lost 5,000 troops again. Cao Hong was so angry that he jumped.

But Ma Dai and his cavalry were like slippery loaches. After taking advantage of the situation, they quickly withdrew without even taking care of the city.

After that, Cao Hong continued to lead the vanguard towards Xingyang and Chenggao.

Xia Houyuan, who was behind, also followed step by step. Along the way, he easily visited the abandoned cities and penetrated deep into the territory of Sili.

Two days later, after repeatedly finding ambushes and losing nearly 20,000 troops, Cao Hong successfully passed through Hulao Pass and arrived at Luoyang City after receiving subsequent reinforcements.

At this time, both Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan felt something was wrong.

Logically speaking, Gao Shun should have deployed heavy troops in front of Hulao Pass to stop him, but that turned out not to be the case at all.

"There are conspiracies and traps here!"

Xia Houyuan thought vigilantly.

But he had no way to refuse this temptation.

Because he had to invade Luoyang, capture Hangu Pass, cut off the connection between Xia State and Guanzhong, and then wait for an opportunity to capture Hanoi and threaten Yecheng.

So. , in this case, he can only be careful and careful, occupy the key places as quickly as possible, make arrangements, and then march to Luoyang.......

Yecheng, despite the wars going on in Nanyang, Qingzhou, Luoyang, Guandu and other places, is still very lively at this time!

No! It should be said that it is more lively!

Because today is the time when the last round of imperial examination begins.

In order not to miss this exam, Luo Xuan personally hurried back from the Guandu front line and came to preside over the assessment.

Many candidates had actually heard about the wars in various places, and were very surprised to see Luo Xuan actually appearing here.

"It seems that the situation on the front line is far more optimistic than we imagined! Pang

Tong touched his chin and whispered to Zhuge Liang beside him.

"inevitable!

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly:"King Xia always likes to make decisions and then act!" In addition, the policies and systems of Xia State have made Xia State extremely prosperous and powerful in these years, and I am not surprised that it can deal with it calmly!"

In the past month, he also learned a lot of information about Xia Kingdom and Luo Xuan that he had not learned before.

He has a clearer and deeper understanding of Xia Kingdom's current policies.

Even, he and Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin and others also went to the countryside near Yecheng for investigation, and went deep into the local area to understand the implementation of various policies.

They gained a lot.

At this time, Kong Ming was more mature and stable than he was more than a month ago!

"Too! Pang

Tong smiled and nodded.

"alright! Stop talking! Hurry in and get ready! The exam is about to begin! Zhuge

Jin on the side immediately pushed the two of them and whispered.

"Uh-huh!"

Immediately, the three of them silenced themselves, entered the examination room, and saw Luo Xuan for the second time.

This time it was at close range.

Luo Xuan gave them the feeling of being young, too young!

But the strange thing was that they did not I didn't feel immature!

Instead, I felt that Luo Xuan was extraordinary and quite heroic. Soon

, the exam officially began.

Luo Xuan stood up in person and announced the test questions:"This is the third round of the palace exam! There is only one topic in this assessment: on the current situation and war between Xia Kingdom and other princes....wait! It is a policy topic! Everyone can use their talents to write answers!"

"Now, let’s get started!"

After saying that, Luo Xuan sat down in his seat again and looked at the movements of the candidates. He chuckled and drank while examining them one by one.......
