Then, under Huang Zhong's confused and dumbfounded gaze, Lu Bu and the tens of thousands of troops under his command marched out and quickly left the battlefield, leaving Huang Zhong alone looking at each other, not understanding what was going on. .
This scene was naturally seen clearly by Gan Ning and Zhang Yan, who were paying close attention to the situation here. Of course, they also heard the sounds that resounded on the battlefield, and knew that the enemy troops had been raided for food and grass, and that there was a fire in the backyard.
This made Gan Ning and Zhang Yan look at each other and see the surprise in their eyes, not wanting the enemy's rear to enter and be breached. Is this a good thing done by the army, or is it the work of the military advisor? In short, no matter what, this result is beneficial to their Qingzhou army.
After thinking about it like this, they instantly became very happy and complacent, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, especially Gan Ning, who laughed even more unscrupulously.
"Haha, this guy Lu Bu is also like this. Since he was attacked for food and grass, it is really retribution and he deserves it!"
"Haha, it's true, but brother Xingba, it's better not to be complacent. Take advantage of the opportunity. It's the best time for our army to evacuate safely. Don't miss it!" Zhang Yan naturally agreed with Gan Ning's pride. , but he knew it was not the time to laugh proudly yet, so he couldn't help but remind him.
"Brother Yan is absolutely right. Now is indeed a good time to retreat. Without further ado, let's call General Huang Zhong back and retreat together!" After hearing Zhang Yan's reminder, Gan Ning also understood and immediately agreed. road.
These words naturally made Zhang Yan nod his head in appreciation, and then Zhang Yan spoke and shouted loudly to Huang Zhong in front, "General Huang, come back quickly, let's retreat together!"
At this time, Huang Zhong also understood that it must be the military adviser's backhand that successfully attacked the enemy camp. This forced Lu Bu to give up the idea of fighting him and return to help. Although this made Huang Zhong a little regretful that he could not compete with Lu Bu, he was still very happy and proud. After all, their side won.
Then Zhang Yan's voice came over, and Huang Zhong naturally did not hesitate at all. He immediately turned the horse's head and returned to the main formation with a whip, returning to Gan Ning and Zhang Yan's side.
When Huang Zhong returned to the formation, before he could continue to speak, Zhang Yan immediately issued the order to retreat, "Please General Huang, lead an army of 5,000 to break up the rear, just in case something unexpected happens, the army will retreat immediately!" "
Regarding Zhang Yan's instructions, Huang Zhong naturally did not hesitate at all and immediately accepted the order. After all, this is a reasonable thing, and Zhang Yan's current official position is far higher than that of Huang Zhong (Huang Zhong is probably still a white man now), so it is appropriate to obey Zhang Yan's orders.
"It's the general, Huang Zhong obeys the order!"
Zhang Yan was very satisfied with Huang Zhong's obedience. She couldn't help but feel more favorable towards Huang Zhong. Then she told Gan Ning next to her, "Xingba is the vanguard and will retreat first with his troops." , there must be no mistake!”
Seeing that Gan Ning wanted to refute and argue after Zhang Yan's order was issued, Zhang Yan said again, "Brother Xingba is injured now. It's better to go back to recuperate first. It's better not to refuse!"
"Okay, Gan Ning will just take the order!" Having said that, Gan Ning didn't know what to say, so he had to accept the order.
Seeing that the arrangements were almost complete, Zhang Yan immediately gave the order to the army to retreat.
"Send the order and the army will retreat immediately. No one is allowed to stay. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!" Qiqi, the fastest updated m.qq*717^.com/ mq^^om/
Then the order to retreat was instantly spread throughout the Qingzhou army through the messengers. Naturally, there was no obstruction. They all obeyed the order and retreated slowly.
"The general has ordered the army to retreat immediately. Violation of military law will be followed!"
"The general has ordered the army to retreat immediately. Violation of military law will be followed!"
"It's General, we'll obey!"
"It's General, we'll obey!"
After a while, the 25,000 troops who attacked this time, led by the three generals Zhang Yan, Gan Ning, and Huang Zhong, retreated back to the camp and went to report to Liu Ye's military advisor.
Lu Bu also led his army to support the rear camp and rescue grain and grass, which was equivalent to withdrawing the troops back to the camp and giving up their troops.
Here, Lu Bu led his army back towards the rear camp in a hurry to help. On the way, he also met Chen Gong's army who was preparing to rescue grain and grass. The two naturally joined forces and headed straight to the rear camp, preparing to support the rear and rescue. forage.
When they arrived at Liangcao's location, they saw Hou Cheng arriving here somehow and commanding the army to rescue Liangcao. It seems to have a good effect. Although the fire is very strong and the smoke is billowing, not much food and grass are burned.
Seeing this scene, Lu Bu was completely relieved, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the food and grass were safe, everything would be fine.
At this time, Hou Cheng had already noticed the figures of Lu Bu and the generals, and hurried forward to greet them. When he came to Lu Bu, he immediately knelt down to plead guilty and said, "The last general was not in a good position to guard the food and grass, so that he was successfully attacked by the enemy. We have suffered a lot of losses, so please forgive me, my lord!"
"Haha, general, you don't have to be like this. If the general hadn't defended him to the death, I believe all the food and grass would have been reduced to nothing. How could the general be guilty?" Lu Bu seemed very happy that the food and grass were saved. Naturally, he didn't mean to blame Hou Cheng. It's rare to become friendly and cheerful.
"Thank you so much, lord. I will definitely give up my merits and repay my lord's forgiveness!" Seeing that Lu Bu had no intention of blaming him, Hou Cheng immediately climbed up the pole and expressed his assurance.
This naturally made Lu Bu even more happy. He laughed proudly and said, "Haha, that's very good. Now I'll just wait for the general to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!" The fastest updated Qiqi m.qq*717^. com/ mq^^om/
Seeing Lu Bu's very happy and proud look, Cheng Lian came to Lu Bu's side. After getting Hou Cheng's look, he immediately stood up and interjected, "My lord Mingjian, General Hou has protected most of the people with his own strength." The food and grass are really gratifying. It is also a great contribution. Please give me a generous reward, my lord!"
"Haha, General Cheng Lian is right. We should reward General Hou generously!" Cheng Lian's suggestion suited Lu Bu's appetite and made him laugh.
Seeing that Lu Bu was about to spit out and reward General Hou Cheng well. At this time, Military Advisor Chen Gong, who had been silent but frowned, couldn't help but interrupt.
"My lord, as long as the enemy army has not retreated, please put the important matter first. After repelling the enemy army's advance and retreat, it will not be too late to have a good discussion!"
"Yes, the military advisor is right!" Lu Bu was naturally very satisfied with Chen Gong's reminder, and immediately expressed his position with a smile, "Now we still have to clean up the camp. After the enemy troops are completely dealt with, Bu will definitely do it We will reward you based on your merits, so please, generals, please don’t be impatient!"
"It's my lord, I will obey your orders!"
"It's my lord, I will obey your orders!"
Lu Bu's order naturally received a verbal response from all the generals, at least on the surface.
