The Battle of Chengde is over, ending with the tragic victory of Liu Mang's army.
Liu Mang's army, the 3,000 Chengde defenders killed more than 2,300 people, seriously injured more than 200 people, and less than 100 people survived.
More than 800 wolf cavalry in Bingzhou also died in battle, plus the iron cavalry from Xiliang, Liu Mang suffered a heavy loss.
On the opposite side, Xia Houyuan's soldiers and horses, the Shenxing Army were completely wiped out, and Wei Yan's Red Clothes Battalion was also seized by Liu Mang, and he was completely sent to hell with Gan Ning's monarchy level.
The whole of Chengde was in a mess, with corpses all over the ground.
Liu Mang thought that he was already very cold-blooded, but from this moment, he still felt a kind of bitterness.
Liu Wei had expected the battle with Cao Cao long ago, but his plan was not to start the war like this. The layout of Jiaozi in front of him had already started, in order to reduce the consumption of blood by the civil war.
Wu Huanhua, this is the lesson of the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Jin Dynasties.
"The last general Gan Ning has seen His Highness the King of Han!" Gan Ning also got off the warship from the top of the monarchy rank and entered Chengde.
"Xingba!" Liu Mang saw Gan Ning, and Liu Mang's thoughts improved a bit. Long time no see with Gan Ning.
"Your Highness!" Gan Ning knelt down to carry his luggage when he saw Liu Mang.
"Hey, there's no need to be polite." Gan Ning is really Liu Mang's number one warrior in the sea. If Liu Mang wants to become a man like One Piece, then Gan Ning is his warship.
Liu Mang and Gan Ning haven't seen each other for a long time, they talked for a long time, Cheng Decheng taught Liu Ye over there.
Everything in the city needs to be reset.
Gan Ning told Liu Mang about the interesting things in the sea, the various benefits of Liu Mang's opening of the sea ban, and the customs and customs of other places.
For Gan Ning, Liu Mang was really the one who made Gan Ning start again.
If there is no Liu Mang, Gan Ning is probably just a mere captain of Jingzhou.
Not to mention seeing the vast sea now.
In the past, he thought that Dahan and Kyushu belonged to the world, but now Gan Ning only thinks that Dahan is just one place.
"Xingba, you are interested in going overseas!" Liu Mang said suddenly.
"Yuanyang?" Even if Gan Ning has a monarchy rank, he still travels around the coastline, and the farthest is only the generation of Silla.
"Yuanyang, Xingba. What I taught you is the navy of the great man, not the coastal fleet!" Liu Mang said to Gan Ning with a smile.
"As long as you Gan Ning go, that's my territory!" Liu Mang said to Gan Ning.
"Whereever you go is the territory of the great man?" Gan Ning's eyes widened, and the generals worshiped the two characters. One is Wei Qing, and the other is Huo Qubing. Why are these two people so famous? Because these two people fought against foreigners, and they also expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty to almost half.
But for Gan Ning. What Wei Qing and Huo Qubing obtained on land couldn't compare to what was obtained on the sea, not to mention other things, the south of Jiaozhou is a vast land.
"But Your Highness, the number of Sovereign-class warships!?" Gan Ning asked suspiciously.
"It's like this, I will ask the captain to work overtime to build it at the sovereign level. When you go to sea, at least 30 ships will be guaranteed!"
"Thirty?" Gan Ning was also taken aback by Liu Mang's number, there are now three Sovereign Class ships. It already made Gan Ning ecstatic, what if there were 30 ships
"Thirty warships, not all of the Sovereign class!" Liu Mang also shook his head, if you let him come for three to five years, he might be able to get them together, but this time he can't get them out.
"Twelve ships, the minimum is twelve ships of the Sovereign class, plus various auxiliary warships, a total of 30 ships. In addition, I will increase the quota to 30,000 for Ling Chao's Marine Corps!"
"A fleet of thirty ships. Twelve Sovereign-class ships!" Gan Ning was also ecstatic.
Just when the two were discussing. Zhang Liao is back.
"General Zhang Liao, have you ever chased Wei Yan?" Liu Mang asked Zhang Liao,
Zhang Liao shook his head, Liu Mang's order to Zhang Liao was life and death, but since he didn't see Wei Yan now, it meant that Wei Yan had fled.
"The last general is incompetent, please punish your Highness!" Zhang Liao knelt down in front of Liu Wei,
"Forget it. Forget it!" Liu Mang shook his head, it wasn't Zhang Liao's fault that he couldn't catch up. It can only be said that Wei Yan is too cunning.
"Wei Yan, Wei Yan, I hope you have fled back to Cao Jun's camp!" Liu Mang is really afraid that Wei Yan will disappear all of a sudden, as long as he is still by Cao Cao's side, Liu Mang will have A chance for revenge.
If Wei Yan is not dead, how will the souls of the red-clothed battalion rest in peace? If Wei Yan is not dead, how will the souls of Jushou rest in peace.
"My lord, what about Xiahouyuan and his son?" Liu Mang promised to let Xiahouyuan and his son go as long as they revealed Wei Yan's whereabouts.
But now Wei Yan has not caught it.
"Go, let them go!" Liu Mang waved his hand.
"Let go?"
"The March of Gods is gone, Xia Houyuan is useless!" Liu Wei shook his head, it is useless to keep Xia Houyuan, why not send it back.
"yes!"
"Chengde is fine, but he has to be wary of Cao Cao and his follow-up soldiers, where is Ling Chao!" Liu Mang shouted loudly.
"The end is here!"
"Ling Chao, you are in command of the 2,000 Marine Battalion, stationed in Chengde first, and assisting Liu Shangshu in preparing Chengde!"
"The last general takes orders!"
"Zi Yang, go and take those craftsmen to Xingba's warship first, and set them up! If nothing can be done, immediately blow up everything in Chengde, retreat to Yingshui, and return to the Yangtze River Among them, wait for my news!" This Chengde Liu Mang can be avoided, but the craftsmen among Chengde are indispensable.
"Yeah!" Liu Ye nodded.
After making arrangements for Chengde, Liu Mang will leave Chengde and go to Lujiang.
"My lord, do you want to let the three kings pass together?"
"No need!" Liu Mang shook his head, the flow of the Yingshui over there is already very little, it would be bad if the boat capsizes in the gutter.
Liu Mang immediately marched towards the Lujiang River with the Bingzhou Wolf Rider under his command.
Sitting in the middle of the Lujiang River is Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law Lu Bu, who has had a good fight with Cao Cao, an old acquaintance, in the past few days.
Without Guo Jia, Cao Cao's strategy was greatly reduced, but Lu Bu's mood changed because of his improvement in martial arts. He was no longer the person who was angry when Cao Cao hit him.
The two of them were completely like a battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu. It was really a match for each other, and each had their own winners and losers.
When they arrived in Hefei, Liu Mang separated from Zhang Liao first. Zhang Liao led his Bingzhou Wolf Riders to help Lu Bu, while Liu Mang went directly to Shouchun City.
"My lord, are you back?" Xu Shu immediately greeted him.
"Yuanzhi has worked hard!" Liu Mang looked at the increasingly haggard Xu Shu with a sense of apology.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Xu Shu shook his head.
Jushou died, Zhuge Liang was not there, Lu Su went to Lu Bu's place, and Xu Shu was the one who could carry the banner in the city.
"How is the situation in the city? How is Cao Jun doing now?" Liu Mang anxiously asked Xu Shu beside him.
"My lord, it doesn't matter that Cao Jun has Marquis Wen, it's just this information, Your Highness, you must read it!" Xu Shu took out a letter and handed it to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang opened the letter, and was immediately stunned.
…
In Cao Cao's camp, Wei Yan fled back. Cao Cao already knew that Wei Yan's red battalion was wiped out, and he didn't even come back with Xiahouyuan and Xiahouba.
Chengde is a mess.
Cao Cao's face was gloomy, but he changed his face immediately. Looking at Wei Yan who was kneeling on the ground to accept the crime, Cao Cao still suppressed his anger. After all, without Wei Yan's help, Cao Cao would not have obtained the current territory, nor The Yangzhou Army will not be forced until Shouchun is left.
So Cao Cao still kindly helped Wei Yan up, saying it's okay to talk to Wei Yan, and comforting Wei Yan.
But such composure is only for a while.
"Report! Report to my lord, something is wrong, something is wrong, Liaodong, the Liaodong Huns have marched and closed, and Youzhou has already fallen into the hands of the Huns!" Xun Yu directly sent an envoy from Liaodong. Following the information sent by Cao Cao.
"What!"
"What does Xun Yu eat? Huns? Where did the Huns come from? Isn't the Zuo Xianwang only a hundred thousand people?" Cao Cao said angrily.
"My lord, it's not that Lord Xun Yu is not going to send troops, but that Liaodong, Liaodong has not paid any food for almost three months, and Lord Xun Yu has no soldiers to send out!"
"What?"
The good news came in pairs. "Report, Second Young Master, Second Young Master, Second Young Master killed Fourth Young Master, in Xudu, in Xudu, he proclaimed himself emperor!"
"What! Pfft!" Cao Cao's eyes widened and he didn't react for a moment. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed out immediately.
"His Royal Highness King Wei!"
"My lord, my lord!"
"Meng De, Meng De!" The entire Cao army was in a mess. (~^~)
