The first sixty-ninth chapter is the combination of Huaiyin Hou and Chu Bawang (two in one
Following Liu Cheng's order, Zhang Xiu, who quickly restrained his troops and returned to the army, came to Liu Cheng's side. After giving Liu Cheng a very respectful salute, he finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked Liu Cheng.
Among the generals present, there was Zhang Xiu, a young general who was much older than Liu Cheng and had a deep hatred for the Baibo thieves.
After all, the soldiers led by his uncle were the most killed and wounded by the Baibo thieves.
Even his uncle almost died in the battle with the Baibo bandits.
It is almost impossible to move freely.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhang Xiu not hate Baibo Thief to the core?
Why don't you want to continue to lead the troops and continue to take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the traitors?
The real reason was, of course, that Liu Cheng was worried that after completely wiping out the Bai Bo bandits, Dong Zhuo would suddenly lose a lot of threats and pressure, so he would have the idea not to move the capital from Luoyang.
However, Liu Cheng would naturally not tell Zhang Xiu these things.
Liu Cheng, who also had some minor injuries and fatigue, pointed at the soldiers and horses and said loudly: "After continuous high-intensity fighting, the soldiers are exhausted and sleepy. At this time, they are all relying on one breath to hold on.
Once this breath is released, fatigue will show.
Moreover, we do not have any supporting troops this time, and the strong troops on the south bank of Mengjin have basically all come here.
There is a Yellow River between us and the south bank. If we go too far, we will really go deep alone."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the east direction: "Furthermore, Youwei, you feel that this time, the Baibo thief who used to be afraid to fight head-on with us has suddenly changed his temperament and dared to fight against us.
Is it true that they just suddenly went crazy and wanted us to kill them?
It has nothing to do with Yuan Shao and those people in Hedong?"
Zhang Xiu was shocked when Liu Cheng mentioned something like this and asked a question in return!
He continued to think along Liu Cheng's thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Before, he only focused on the battle situation in front of him and didn't think about anything else.
At this time, I was awakened by Liu Cheng, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized that what Liu Cheng said made sense!
Moreover, when you combine the two together, you can get even more things.
For example, while I and others were chasing the Baibo bandits, soldiers and horses suddenly came from Hanoi and blocked my and others' retreat.
For another example, soldiers and horses sent by Yuan Shao and others took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and directly attack the camp on the south bank of the Yellow River...
At this time, the camp on the south bank had no strong soldiers and horses, and it was extremely empty.
If Hanoi really sends troops and horses to attack, the camp can be easily captured.
This is not just as simple as losing a large camp.
Once the south bank camp is lost, the way back for myself and others will be cut off!
Moreover, it is still the kind that does not carry any food and baggage and is cut off.
When the time came, the Baibo thieves came back again, and some soldiers and horses from Hanoi came over to surround themselves and others...
That would be really scary!
After some deep thinking, Zhang Xiu bowed deeply to Liu Cheng: "If the emperor's uncle hadn't been here, Zhang Xiu alone would have caused a big disaster!
Not only is the emperor's uncle brave and invincible in battle, he dares to fight and fight hard, he is also extremely brilliant in strategy!
Even if Marquis Huaiyin is reborn, it will be nothing more than this!"
After saying that, he quickly shook his head and added: "The Marquis of Huaiyin alone is not enough to compare with the emperor's uncle. The Marquis of Huaiyin is indeed very sophisticated in the way of using troops and is extremely admirable. However, the Marquis of Huaiyin is not so brave.
It is simply not possible for him to lead the charge, kill the generals and seize the flag like the emperor's uncle..."
As he spoke this way, his speaking speed slowed down, and he stretched out his hands to scratch his head. He was quickly thinking about the famous people in history that he knew, and used them to compare with Uncle Liu Huang.
As a result, I found that my knowledge was too lacking. Even if I quickly thought about all the famous generals in ancient and modern times that I knew, I still couldn't come up with a suitable person.
After doing this for a while, he said helplessly: "The young general's knowledge is really shallow. I have thought about all the famous generals from ancient and modern times that I know, but I have never come up with a famous general who is as brave and resourceful as the emperor's uncle...
…”
Hearing what Zhang Xiu said, Hao Meng, Liao Hua, Li Jin and others who came over also began to think about the famous historical generals they knew and compared them with Liu Cheng.
After thinking about it for a while, they all found out that it was really difficult to find a famous general from ancient to modern times who was similar to Liu Cheng based on their lack of knowledge.
"I remembered!"
It was at this time that Zhang Xiu spoke up again, looking very surprised.
Everyone focused their attention on Zhang Xiu, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"It's the Marquis of Huaiyin and the King of Chu!"
Zhang Xiu said excitedly.
"The emperor's uncle has the strategy of the Marquis of Huaiyin, and at the same time he has the astonishing bravery of the Overlord of Chu!"
His face became a little red.
The eyes he looked at Liu Cheng were filled with stars.
Sure enough, many things are different from never before and countless times.
Zhang Xiu, who had a lot of opinions against Liu Cheng at the beginning, became Liu Cheng's little fan after his last trip to Sishui Pass, and became a close friend of the extremely senior and skilled emperor uncle.
Blown!
After a lot of compliments, he was very skilled, not to mention extremely confident, without even the slightest bit of shyness. He was no longer the same Zhang Xiu as before.
When the rest of the people heard Zhang Xiu mention the names of Huaiyin Marquis and Chu Bawang at first, they seemed very confused.
But after listening to what Zhang Xiu said next and thinking about it for a while, I actually felt that what Zhang Xiu said was very reasonable.
Combining the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin, and the Overlord of Chu, Xiang Yu, can really reflect the emperor's uncle's characteristics in matters such as fighting.
So, everyone nodded and agreed.
When Liu Cheng heard what Zhang Xiu said and saw everyone's reaction, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I was just a little braver and less life-threatening during the war. I led everyone to win some battles. What if I dare to be compared with existences like the Marquis of Huaiyin and the Overlord of Chu?
Gentlemen, please don't say that again.
If it spreads, it will only make people laugh..."
Hearing Liu Cheng's sincere polite words, Zhang Xiu and others were immediately speechless.
Because if what Uncle Liu Huang did was just brave and lifeless, and achieved some success, then how should they describe it and how should they comment?
Isn’t it worthless?
This kind of invisible pretense is the most deadly and extremely harmful.
Living in this era, they do not know the word Versailles.
If he knew about it, he would definitely wave his fist at Liu Cheng and shout "Old Versailles!"
With Liu Cheng's suggestions and Zhang Xiu's suggestions, he quickly came up with a shocking strategy, and later praised Liu Cheng's episode. He stopped chasing the Baibo thieves, withdrew his troops and quickly returned.
Also, it has become the consensus of everyone.
No one had any extra thoughts about Liu Cheng's proposal to withdraw troops quickly, and all acted according to Liu Cheng's wishes.
By noon, the last group of people also arrived at the Baibo bandit camp, which was destroyed by fire on the north bank of Mengjin Ferry...
Except for the enemies killed before, there are no traces of enemy troops here.
The camp on the other side was also safe and sound.
This situation made many people feel relieved.
Under today's circumstances, they really don't want to encounter any more enemies or fight...
At this moment, on the north bank of Mengjin Crossing, where the Baibo bandit camp was, he already had the surname Liu.
Even though many camps were burned down, there are still a lot of things left in the Baibo bandit camp.
After all, in the past, Mrs. Guo, Yang Feng and others were prepared for a long-term confrontation with Dong Zhuo's troops on the other side of the river.
Under such circumstances, there will certainly not be too much of a shortage of supplies and supplies here.
These are all cheap for Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng, on the other hand, said on the spot that this time the war was too hard and difficult for everyone, so he would make an exception this time and not take any money. He would distribute all the seizures this time according to the size of the credit.
!
After receiving this order from Liu Cheng immediately, these exhausted soldiers who fought extremely hard and continued to rush suddenly burst into cheers!
Even the soldiers and generals under Zhang Ji, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and others are still extremely cheerful.
For them, the greatest happiness is the many rewards they can receive after winning a battle.
After all, with their heads tied to their belts, their biggest wish is to be promoted and make a fortune, and to gain glory and wealth by working hard...
The military doctors who were trained by Liu Cheng at the Sishui Pass Field Hospital and have returned to their original jobs have already begun to show some results.
Through their direct and indirect communication, many of Dong Zhuo's other soldiers already knew about the character Liu Cheng and Emperor Liu.
I heard that he was a very capable and kind-hearted person.
Now judging from this incident, this statement is indeed correct!
The Baibo thieves, who had left many people helpless before, were immediately defeated the night Uncle Liu Huang came over!
Let yourself wait for others and feel extra proud when playing!
Now, Uncle Liu Huang, who had the greatest credit in this battle, and who should have obtained the lion's share of the spoils from any aspect, directly announced that he did not want any of the spoils.
All the spoils of war must be distributed among the soldiers!
Faced with this, how could they not feel that Liu Huangshu was benevolent and righteous?
How could one not suddenly fall in love with Uncle Liu Huang?
With their previous good impressions, it would be easier for them to develop a good impression of Liu Cheng's methods...
It can be said that Liu Cheng's wave of winning people's hearts has had an extremely significant effect...
…
"...Zhang Liao is so virtuous and capable that he can be so favored by the emperor's uncle and assigned such an important task?
After receiving the order, I worked conscientiously and did not dare to relax in the slightest. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission... Now that the Baibo thieves have been defeated, Zhang Liote came to return the emperor's sharp blade..."
Here on the north bank of Mengjin, after Liu Cheng issued an order to reward the army and arranged for some troops to return to the camp on the south bank in an orderly manner by boat to rest, Zhang Liao, whose armor was covered with blood and had many scars on it, strode forward. When he came to Liu Cheng, he held the butcher's knife in both hands, saluted Liu Cheng very respectfully, and said this.
Liu Cheng reached out and took the butcher's knife from Zhang Liao's hand, inserted it back into his waist, then reached out to hold Zhang Liao's hand and helped Zhang Liao up.
"Hahaha, I knew you were a good general, Wenyuan!
My eyes can never go wrong when seeing people!
The reason why I didn't make a statement in the past was because I never encountered the right time.
What now?
With the power of command, you can directly show your prestige!!
After today's battle, your names, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, will definitely spread and be known to many people!
Wen Yuan, you not only failed to disgrace your mission this time, you simply overfulfilled it!
Even I was heartbroken by the grace shown in this battle!
Speaking of which, I still need to thank you properly.
If you hadn't commanded from the front and charged personally in the face of the battle, without avoiding arrows and stones, and defeated the enemies in front of them, which put great pressure on the Baibo thieves, it would have been impossible to accomplish anything with just the troops and horses I led!
If you don't do it right, you will fall into a situation where you will be surrounded by thieves and then be destroyed by the thieves..."
After saying this, Liu Cheng directly faced Zhang Liao and gave a solemn salute.
Zhang Liao panicked and quickly saluted Liu Cheng, saying he didn't dare.
Liu Cheng stretched out his hand to support Zhang Liao and straightened up together with Zhang Liao.
"In this battle, what the emperor did is the most dangerous and the most important..."
Zhang Liao said with a slightly trembling voice.
Liu Cheng's words just now, especially the gift that was beyond his expectation, made Zhang Liao feel good and admired Liu Cheng in his heart.
Zhang Liao already had a lot of goodwill and admiration for Liu Cheng because of his previous efforts to make Zhang Liao the frontline commander and to lead his troops to quickly defeat the enemy.
Now, after Uncle Liu Huang, who had such great ability and reputation, saluted him in public, all the feelings in his heart suddenly sublimated...
After all, before this, Zhang Liao, although he was somewhat famous for his martial arts, had never had a person with status and ability like Uncle Liu Huang treat him with such respect and courtesy!
…
Soldiers, horses, supplies, etc., along with the ships plying between the two sides of Mengjin Ferry, were constantly heading to the camp on the south bank.
Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng's banner, have always remained here on the north bank.
Firstly, it was to cut off the rear for all the troops, and secondly, Liu Cheng was waiting for someone...
