The young general Pegasus took Shen Dan and fled westward. However, after breaking away from the Shen family army's formation, he began to turn again and turned to the north.
Shen Dan immediately noticed the abnormality and began to fight for the reins: "That's the Shu army formation over there! What do you want to do...?!"
Halfway through his questioning, he couldn't speak any more and stopped struggling.
The cold touch on his neck made Shen Tan immediately understand what happened.
He is a prisoner.
"Master, you'd better not move around." Qi Jian behind him said calmly, "Otherwise I will recognize you, but the knife in my hand will not recognize you."
At the critical moment, Shen Dan calmed down.
He did not get angry, let alone scold and insult the "general" behind him. Instead, he asked in a gentle tone: "What do you want? As long as you help me escape with my life today, Shen will swear to forget about today's incident. What can they give you?" Yes, the Shen family can give it to you."
"Hahahaha..." Qi Jian couldn't help but laugh before he could answer.
No way, he hasn't heard such a funny joke for a long time.
Shen Dan frowned, thinking he understood the key to the matter: "Don't look at my defeat today. As long as I can escape, no one can safely control the three counties. In the end, they still have to rely on my Shen family.
"As long as you help me escape to Cao Ying, no matter what you want, gold, silver, women, land, or mansions, the Shen family can give it to you when I regain control of the three counties.
"Even if you hand me over to the Shu army today and use me in exchange for temporary benefits, they will never reuse you if you do such a thing as a seller seeking glory!"
Originally, Qi Jian happily took the old boy's words as a joke, but when he heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Bah! I have followed the prince through life and death since I was 14 years old. I have destroyed countless strongholds, big and small, fought in Jingzhou, and defended Jiangling. Only then did I get to where I am today. Want to be my master? You are worthy!"
What does he want?
He wanted the world to have fewer orphans like him, who had to compete with wild dogs for food.
He wanted a benevolent master who could open his eyes and see these little people struggling to beg for a living, no different from ants.
None of these are what the Shen family can give.
Hearing this, Shen Dan was heartbroken...
However, he could not figure out why there was a prince among his generals, and when did Prince Liu Chan let him in?
I shouldn't have done anything suspicious before, right? Why did the prince want to reach out to the Shen family?
Even if I have all my thoughts, it's too late now.
Qi Jian galloped towards the Red Star Army, grabbed Shen Dan's gun and raised it high, shouting the internal flag of the Red Star Army.
"Don't shoot arrows among our own people!" Li Er hurriedly ordered the whole army.
Qi Jian returned to the Red Star Army with Shen Dan, who looked numb and said nothing, and soon Liu Chan also rode back to the main formation.
"Prince, Qi Jian is lucky to have lived up to his command and captured the rebel general Shen Dan alive!"
Liu Chan nodded and smiled: "I was so far away that I didn't recognize you. I thought he, Shen Dan, wanted the two of them to ride together, charge into our Red Star army formation and capture Li Er alive."
The soldiers nearby laughed out loud.
The Shen family's army has given up resistance. Except for a few who are still running away who are unwilling to give up, the rest are dead and surrendered.
Ma Chao led the cavalry to disperse and kill the remaining people. The main force of the Red Star Army had completed its combat mission.
"Well done, Shen Zhong is still in the west city to help defend the city. You will follow the army and return to the team later. After the war, we will discuss your merits and reward you."
"yes!"
Liu Chan looked at Guan Xing, who was wearing a military uniform and holding a horse in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Anguo, how do you feel? I always said before that I couldn't kill enemies on the battlefield like your brother. Do you feel happy in today's battle?"
[Guan Xing favorability +5] (65)
Guan Xing deliberately made a look of waning interest on his face, and sighed: "Xing's martial arts skills are low. He cannot rush into Cao's formation like a prince and save his comrades on his own. I can only kill these rabble here, how can it be so fast?"
Li Er also joined in the fun and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, these Shen family troops are too hard to fight. They are not as good as the soldiers under Lu Xun. It is very boring."
The two of them kept talking about "the mob" and "beating without restraint", and they kept talking to Shen Dan who was being escorted so that the corners of her mouth twitched and she wanted to curse.
However, at this time, he himself became a prisoner, but he did not have the courage to face death...
It didn't take too long to chase down the deserters. Seeing that two legs could not outrun four legs, most of them no longer took any chances and knelt down to beg for surrender.
Soon, Ma Chao led the cavalry back.
He turned over and dismounted, walked directly in front of Liu Chan, clasped his fists and said, "I admire the prince's ingenious plan to defeat the enemy!"
[Ma Chao favorability +5] (52)
[Ma Chao's favorability is 50, equestrian talent +15×2, spear throwing talent +15×2, swordsmanship talent +15×2, long soldier talent +10×2, and obtains the characteristic "Hate Cao"]
[Hate Cao]: Ma Chao's hatred for Cao Jun will make you feel the same. When fighting Cao Jun together, it will be easier to increase your mutual affection. (Killing Cao Jun will be regarded as successful revenge)
When Liu Chan saw the new characteristics, he felt a little pity at first. This characteristic didn't seem very powerful, but it was not bad at accelerating Ma Chao's favorability.
But he soon noticed the seemingly useless reminder in parentheses.
Killing Cao Jun will be regarded as successful revenge.
Liu Chan hurriedly called up his own characteristics list and checked the characteristics Fa Zheng had provided for him.
[Pleasant Gratitude]: Whenever you successfully repay a favor or take revenge, your constitution +1.
Blanched, perfect match!
Liu Chan was pleasantly surprised to find a new way to improve his physique. It seems that he can go faster on the road to becoming a humanoid Gundam...
"It's just that I have something unclear, and I would like to ask the prince for advice." Ma Chao beat Cao Jun's cavalry, and his mood seemed much better. At this time, he took the initiative to talk to Liu Chan.
"If I don't understand anything, General Meng Qi can just tell me."
"Cao's army still has a main force of five to six thousand infantry. It seems to me that they are not just a mob, but why did they retreat when they saw us and hundreds of cavalry attacking?"
Doesn't Ma Chao think that his name scares the other party? Cao Jun is not a Qiang and Di people?
Even when he was at his peak, he never had the feat of scaring off thousands of Cao's troops with a hundred cavalry.
If this battle is written down in the history books for later generations, then he will be very powerful, and the enemy general will give him a great reputation.
Liu Chan thought for a moment and smiled: "Thanks to both of them for this."
After saying that, he pointed at Shen Yi, who was lying on the ground, and Shen Dan, who was being escorted by soldiers and kneeling next to his younger brother.
"Why is this?" Ma Chao asked puzzled.
"Who dares to trust such a repeating villain who has committed many treacherous acts? Presumably the commander-in-chief of Cao's army is afraid that these two men may surrender on the surface, but secretly want to cooperate with our army in a counter-attack. If they don't leave, the Shen family's army will also attack Turn around and hit him."
All the generals were stunned and burst into laughter.
Shen Dan, who was originally expressionless, changed his face several times. He felt that the laughter of the people around him was like big slaps on his face, and like a sharp knife piercing his heart...
…
In a battle outside Shangyong City, the Red Star Army's thousand men and Shangyong Liu Feng's garrison's three thousand men faced off against the Shen family's tribe of three thousand, and more than six thousand troops from the Qingzhuang and Cao Cao troops were recruited.
When the battlefield was cleaned after the war, 0 people from the Red Star Army died in battle, 3 people from the cavalry were killed (they only hurt their butts after a fall, not minor injuries), and 12 people were slightly injured from arrows.
More than 600 Shangyong defenders were killed. General Liu Feng was seriously injured and fell into coma. More than ten soldiers were seriously injured and more than 200 were slightly injured.
A total of more than 700 people from the Shen family were killed, more than a thousand young men from the siege, and a total of more than 300 Cao Jun cavalrymen were killed. 4 thunderbolt chariots were destroyed, and Shen Dan Shenyi was captured alive.
More than 6,000 people were surrendered, while the rest of the Shen army fled.
Seized more than 300 collars of leather armor that were still intact, more than 40 collars of mysterious armor, and countless other swords, spears, halberds, and bows...
The army escorted a large number of lowered soldiers who had been relieved of their armor into Shangyong City. The Shen brothers were tied up with five flowers and held in separate cells under strict guard.
Liu Chan, who returned to Shangyong, immediately went to check on Liu Feng's injuries. Previously, he was worried about the war and rushed out of the city without taking a closer look.
Looking again now, Liu Feng's legs, arms, chest and back were stabbed and scratched by sharp objects. There was also a broken arrowhead stuck in his left arm. A large gash in the right shoulder socket was the most seriously injured place. The linen bandage was stained with blood again.
Several medical craftsmen recruited from Shangyong City were busy around Liu Feng.
"How is your brother's injury?" Liu Chan asked anxiously.
One of the older doctors quickly raised his hand and said: "Prince, fortunately, General Liu was not seriously injured. He just lost too much blood and cannot wake up. I don't know who master prepared this medicine. It has a very good effect in stopping bleeding." The general only needs to rest, and his life will be fine, and he will not be disabled."
Liu Chan felt relieved after hearing this.
Since Liu Feng's life is on the line and he won't become disabled in the future, as long as the wound doesn't get infected, he should be fine.
After instructing these doctors to pay attention to disinfection and sterility, Liu Chan left.
He still had something to discuss with the generals.
The retreat of Cao's army was only temporary. Their troops were not seriously damaged, and they would still wait for an opportunity to move after thinking about it.
After all, there is still Mengda in Fangling, and Cao Jun still has a foothold.
And... Cao's army may not be the only one coming here.
