Chapter 83 Indiscriminate Murder

The generals and officials of the surrendered army were almost replaced for a whole round. Will those generals and officials who were defeated be resentful? Liu Xie didn't know, and there would definitely be one, but so what?

These newly-up soldiers have made merits and received rewards, and invisibly they will naturally feel a sense of belonging to the court. For other soldiers, these rewarded soldiers are undoubtedly an inspiration. As for those who have been eliminated, they may have a bad attitude, lack of ability, or lack courage, no matter which, Liu Xie has no reason to keep them for a good meal.

After the reward ended, these newly promoted soldiers were quickly transferred to the army and re-arranged military affairs. It took a whole afternoon until the sky gradually darkened. The army was reorganized during this period. Not to mention how much combat power it could be exerted, but when commanding, it would be much more convenient than before.

The night wind blows by, it is already early summer. Even in the night air, it is a bit of heat, which makes Liu Xie and Jia Xu, who are already accustomed to the northern climate, feel a little uncomfortable. However, Li Yan, who is beside him, has no feeling. He was born here and has long been used to this climate.

"Are you talking about Xu Chu?" Looking at Wei Xu in front of him, Liu Xie was a little surprised, and his mind was a little overwhelmed.

"Yes, this person's courage may not be able to fight against Wen Hou, but those who can compete with him in our dynasty will not be able to get a palm." Wei Xu said seriously.

"I don't think that there are such powerful generals under Yuan Shu." Liu Xie shook his head and chuckled. At this time, he thought that Qiao County seemed to be still under Yuan Shu's rule, and Xu Chu's reputation was already quite good. Now he lost consecutive battles, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. Yuan Shu's original generals may not even be able to fight against the generals of the second or even third echelons of the court. At this time, no matter how high Yuan Shu considers himself, he has to lower his posture and seek powerful generals.

However, is this powerful general who was recruited by cramming for the moment?

Jia Xu followed Liu Xie for a long time, and only by looking at Liu Xie's expression, he knew what Liu Xie was trying to make. He smiled and said, "It's a pity that such a powerful general is secretly beating his pearl."

"Yes." Liu Xie nodded subconsciously. It seemed that the secret guards lurking in Runan and Yuzhou were moving. If Xu Chu could be subdued, his commander of the Imperial Guard would have a place.

"When I returned to the army just now, I found that the Yuan Shu army was divided into two battalions. Why is that?" Liu Xie frowned and asked. When the enemy came yesterday, Liu Xie did not pay attention to it and had to send troops to the evening, so he did not pay attention to the other party's military camp.

Until today, when I came over, I found that the Yuan Shu army's camp was divided into two, and they seemed to want to compete for control of the Yuyang garrison. If someone had not stopped the other half of the troops, the battle would not have been so smooth today.

"The battle in Nanyang should have been led by Zhang Xun, but unfortunately, this man lost consecutive battles and lost his city and land. Even if he gathered the bandits in Zhongyang Mountain, his troops were still weak. Han Xian wanted to take over the credit, and he had another 30,000 reinforcements under his command, and his strength was stable to suppress Zhang Xun. Therefore, the two sides were in harmony." Li Yan bowed and said.

"It made Zhang Xun embarrassed." Liu Xie couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Although Zhang Xun suffered a defeat, he has some skills. But Han Xian is really..."

Shaking his head, Yuan Jun was so slow in reacting in the previous fight, and he was useless to respond. If it weren't for his large number of troops, Liu Xie would not want to destroy his elite troops here, and if he had other plans, he would not be able to defeat him, but he would also seriously damage his vitality.

When several people heard this, they couldn't help but smile and shook their heads. Zhang Xun was indeed a little unlucky. Logically speaking, even if they were defeated, they wouldn't have been defeated so thoroughly. Unexpectedly, the chain reaction caused by shooting Liang Gang directly made the battle, which had only 60% chance of winning, and finally turned into an annihilation battle. With almost the entire army being wiped out, Zhang Xun was also poor and had a weak ambition at this moment.

"Prepare, the enemy will be defeated in a maximum of three to five days!" He marched continuously, and had almost never slept much from last night to now. At this time, Liu Xie was also a little tired and had to take a good night's sleep tonight.

"Here! I'm leaving." Although I wondered why Liu Xie said that he could defeat the enemy within three or five days, looking at Liu Xie's tired expression, everyone immediately clasped their fists to Liu Xie and left, and the room returned to tranquility. Liu Xie fell head-on on the bed.

...

In the night wind with a little heat, unlike the stability of Wancheng, in Hanxian Camp, there was a look of sorrow and a crying sound could be heard in the air. It was the soldiers who died in battle in the robe who were sad for the dead.

Han Xian sat on his position as the commander, his face looked a little ugly. Although he lost not many soldiers in today's battle, his original momentum had suffered considerable setbacks.

I regretted it. I had known that this army was my own, but I did not expect that it would cause them great damage in the moment I approached. More importantly, even if Han Xian was playing the commander, he could not match Zhang Xun. However, I could see that the original chaos in Wancheng was definitely stable with this battle. As one went up and down, the gap between the two sides was gradually reversing.

It doesn't matter if the problem of this army is not important. It is the most deadly thing to not attack Wancheng. If I had known this, I would have listened to Zhang Xun from the beginning and raided Wancheng. Maybe he was already sitting in Wancheng at this moment.

I regret not being the first!

Han Xian sighed. What he was most worried about was that Zhang Xun used this matter to make trouble in front of Yuan Shu. Although it was all facts and nothing to do was to make trouble, it was because of this that he was afraid.

No, you can't sit still and wait for death. The responsibility for this matter cannot be borne by yourself. No, you shouldn't be borne by yourself. If Zhang Xun hadn't lied to report military information, how could he be attacked by the imperial soldiers?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. Han Xian quickly asked someone to prepare the official documents for him and prepare to report it. At this moment, a personal guard rushed over. Before the person arrived, the voice had already come: "General, something happened!"

"Why are you so panicked??" Han Xian frowned when he heard this. What he annoyed the most now was that he heard such despicable words, but he had to listen.

"Go back to General, someone killed someone in the army just now." The personal guard said.

"Murder?" Han Xian frowned when he heard this. What's this kind of thing? The army is full of passionate men and it's easy to be impulsive. In the past, there were no fights. However, it was rare to kill people, but even if they were killed, it was not a big deal. Is it necessary to alarm yourself in such a shock?

"But..." The personal guard was a little anxious, and he had already stopped him by Han Xian waved his hand.

"It's nothing, but if you kill someone, you will be punished with forty military sticks to serve as a warning to others. The body will be buried." He waved impatiently.

"This...here." When the guard heard this, he had to smile bitterly and bow down.

"It's really..." Shaking his head, Han Xian kicked the table with some annoyance.

"Report~"

At this moment, another guard rushed in.

"So what's wrong?" Han Xian looked at the other party angrily.

"General, someone died, and a soldier in the army was killed." The guard bowed.

"Who did it!" Han Xian frowned and faintly felt something was wrong.

"No one knows that they are killed by one blow. When the corpse is found, the corpse has already started to become cold." The guard bowed and said.

"Report~"

Before Han Xian could react, three more personal guards came in at the same time.

"Tell me!" Han Xian said in a deep voice.

"General, some soldiers were assassinated."

"General, six bodies were found in the camp."

"General, three dead people were found."

"Who killed?" No matter how stupid Han Xian was at this moment, he could see that this was definitely not an accident.

"I haven't discovered that the attacker is quite ruthless. One blow is deadly and no clues are left."

A similar answer made Han Xian suddenly think of what happened today, and a chill suddenly flashed in his heart. He remembered that when the imperial army came, there were nearly 5,000 people, but when he left, according to Zhang Xun, there were only about 3,000 people. Although the situation was chaotic at that time, his troops were first shot by the other party in a rain of arrows, and then in a melee. In the end, only about 3,000 people died. What was wrong with the other party losing 2,000 people after this battle.

He has little practical experience, but he also knows that in that chaotic scene, one side has a disadvantage, but in that situation, it is difficult to distinguish who is the enemy and who is the one on his own. Many casualties are caused by killing each other. Instead, the other side directly retreated, and it shouldn't have suffered such great losses.

"Today, have you ever checked the battlefield? "Han Xian frowned. He remembered that after the imperial army left the battle formation, he pulled off the Yuan army uniforms covered with black armor. After the war, Zhang Xun asked someone to distinguish between the enemy and us. At that time, Han Xian mocked him for making a big fuss. Now it seems that Zhang Xun had already had this idea at that time.

"Go back to General, General Zhang Xun sent someone to count it, but we ignored it." The guard shook his head. Han Xian himself didn't pay attention to it, so naturally there was no need for them to take care of it.

"Report~"

Just when everyone was at a loss, several people came to report the news. Without exception, someone in the camp was killed, and the other party killed people without any purpose. In other words, the other party did not target the general and found ordinary soldiers. However, after a while, the message from the news came, hundreds of people had died inexplicably.

Panic spread in the camp. Even if Han Xian didn't go out, he could still think that the camp was already panic.

"Go quickly, please invite General Xu Chu to come." Han Xian suddenly felt that he was not very safe. Even if he had a group of personal guards to protect him, he was still frightened. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Go and invite General Zhang Xun again."
