Chapter 2641: : Li Ru?

After Li Dian saw Xiahoulan’s situation, his face was pale. Xiahoulan was a general of the Xiahou family. Even if Chenggao was lost, Li Dian would not dare to deal with Xiahoulan without authorization, but Xiahoulan’s situation was really unbearable at this time. Look straight.

"The future will be lost to Chenggao City, and I feel ashamed." Xia Houlan clasped her fist, and he naturally felt the strange gaze of the military general. Bear the price."

"General Xiahou will elaborate on the situation of the battle in Cheng Gaocheng." Li Dian said.

Xia Houlan didn't conceal the slightest concealment of Cheng Gao's fighting situation, and said it from beginning to end.

When I heard that Xia Houlan led the army to break at the last moment, many generals looked at Xia Houlan with different gazes. As the chief general in the army, being able to stand up at the last moment is extremely difficult in itself. .

The generals in the army could feel that Xia Houlan did not choose to give up at the most critical moment of the war, but led the soldiers in the army after the break.

Li Dian’s gaze towards Xia Houlan was a little different from before. Although Xia Houlan lost in this battle, his actions after the start of the war were still remarkable, but Zhang Shao’s betrayal was too sudden. It was a completely unexpected move, which led to Cheng Gao's fiasco.

The same thing, even if it is put on other generals, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do better, so Xia Houlan is worthy of sympathy, but as the chief general in the army, Li Dian must distinguish between rewards and punishments. Failure is failure, regardless of For what reason, Cheng Gaocheng was lost in Xia Houlan's hands, and Xing Yang fell into a passive situation.

As Li Ru had expected, Xing Yang was not fully prepared for the battle. If the Jin Kingdom's army approached the city at this time, it would bring great turbulence to the defenders in the city.

"As for General Xiahou's loss to Chenggao City, this general will report to the Prime Minister according to the facts. However, when General Hou is in the army this summer, he should fight the enemy courageously and strive to mitigate punishment." Li Dian said.

"Thank you, the general, the general will surely kill the enemy more." Xiahoulan said, he was already desperate for the Liangzhou army, and even suffered the insult of cutting off his ears and nose. At this time, he was the biggest His idea is to make the enemy pay a heavy price on the battlefield. Only in this way will he be reconciled.

"The Jin State army has many tricks. After you go back, you should take more precautions to avoid giving the enemy a chance." Li Dian said.

"Here." The military general said in unison.

Xiahoulan was not beheaded, and the generals in the army expected that Xiahoulan was a general of the Xiahou family, and the generals of the Xiahou family had great prestige in the army, just as Xiahouyuan and Xiahou Dun were the only ones in the army. figure.

However, if such a thing were put on other generals, it would definitely be Li Dian beheaded immediately.

Li Dian didn’t want to kill Xiahoulan in order to impose military discipline, but if he did so, he would be in great trouble under Cao Cao’s account in the future. Li Dian wanted to win on the battlefield, but he didn’t want to get too much trouble. Cao Cao can call the shots for such a thing.

Ryo Mao has no objection to such a disposition.

After the military general left, Li Dian turned his attention to Liang Mao. "Military division, after the enemy has broken Cheng Gao, he will definitely go to Xingyang after the heavy goods are transported to the city."

Liang Mao nodded slightly, and the loss of Cheng Gao put Xing Yang into a passive situation. With five thousand defenders against the 15,000 Liangzhou army, he broke the city at a very fast speed for the Jin State army, even if it was There are reasons for this, and it will definitely cause turmoil in the military.

The lieutenant’s desire for victory prevents them from retreating easily when facing the enemy. However, when the enemy’s strength is too strong, Xia Houlan led a thousand troops to block the enemy’s pursuit. So quickly defeated the enemy.

If an army loses the will to fight and faces a tough enemy, they will not fight as bravely as before, but will take their own lives more into consideration.

If the enemy is to attack Cheng Gao from a frontal attack, the defenders in the city will fight desperately and will not retreat because of the strength of the enemy, because at that time, there is a city behind them as a support, and the city behind them is not only them. The goal of protection is also to provide them with a sense of security.

This is enough for the defending army. When the soldiers in the army feel uneasy, they will run away in the face of the enemy.

"This general did not expect that the enemy's methods turned out to be so terrible. There is Mr. Lao in the investigation of generals, and Xingyang must not be lost." Li Dian said.

"General, rest assured." Liang Mao said: "It's just that Jin's army has many methods, and the enemy's army adviser Lu Ru is very wise. Some people even suspected that Lu Ru was Li Ru, the adviser under Dong Zhuo's account."

"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 did some earth-shattering events. The two Han emperors, both He died in the hands of Li Ru.

Liang Mao nodded. "Although his current name is Li Ru, it is still Wenyou and after he took refuge in Lu Bu in Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo’s son-in-law Niu Fu also followed him, if it weren’t for Lu Ru If there is a certain amount of prestige in Dong Zhuojun, how can Niu Fu follow?"

Li Dian nodded his head with a heavy face, "Li Ru is a vicious person, you should be more careful, but if such a traitor is met, he will definitely be killed."

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

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

About Xiahoulan’s defeat, it spread very quickly in the army, and Xiahoulan was humiliated by the enemy, it was discussed by soldiers in the army, but this kind of thing must be done in private, no matter what. Saying that Xia Houlan is still a general in the army, if Xia Houlan learns about this kind of thing, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

After Xia Houlan returned to the army, she rarely appeared in front of lieutenants.

On the second day when 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 rushing around the city with Yaowu and Yaowei, he set off in the south of the city. Formation.

The two thousand cavalrymen gave the defenders a shocking feeling. The cavalrymen of the Jin Kingdom wore black costumes. 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.
