Chapter 497: The Battle of Puyang (3)


In Puyang City.

Liu Bei learned about Cao Cao and Sun Quan's rebellion.

Especially the news that Cao Cao had raised 300,000 troops to directly capture Yizhou felt very relieved.

Seeing that there was no movement in the Han army camp, he took Xu Huang and Shen Pei away from the city wall. .

If something wasn't right.

Liu Bei wanted to drink heavily to express his joy.

After persisting for so long, he finally got some news that made him very excited, and it was also news that was very beneficial to him.

How could he be unhappy?

On the way back to the mansion from the city wall, although his face was calm, the joy in his eyes was clearly visible.

He was also thinking about what would happen next.

In his opinion, the more than 100,000 Han troops outside the city no longer posed much of a threat to him.

Time flies by. soon.

In the evening, the sun began to slowly set from the west, no longer emitting hot white light, but instead emitting golden light, illuminating the earth.

And because the sun is about to set, the air is getting a little colder.

Winter is approaching and the nights are starting to get less warm.

Liu Bei, Shen Pei, and Xu Huang were also in the mansion, still discussing future matters.

In their opinion, if Liu Qi wanted to keep Yizhou, he would definitely lead his troops back for reinforcements.

Otherwise, the defenders of Yizhou would not be able to withstand the 300,000 Wei troops.

But he never thought that Liu Qi would not retreat and would take the opportunity to counterattack.

During deliberations.

A soldier walked in quickly from outside the hall.

"Report, the Han army camp outside the city has been pulled out and ready to evacuate, and it looks very messy.

Some flags have been thrown down, and many tents have not been dismantled.

There is a troop leaving directly towards the rear, and The remaining soldiers of the Han army are about to leave."

The soldiers knelt down and worshiped.

He was a garrison on the city wall.

Because the garrison general saw the Han army's movements, he sent him back to report.

Hear the words.

Liu Bei, Shen Pei, and Xu Huang first looked surprised, and then turned into excited looks.

"Come on, come with me and take a quick look," Liu Bei said excitedly.

Finished.

He also stood up and walked out, wanting to confirm it.

Xu Huang, Shen Pei, and the soldier who came to report also quickly followed.

Xu Huang and Shen Pei also felt the same as Liu Bei and wanted to confirm it.

If this was really the case, it would be a big deal for them.

The more than 100,000 Han troops outside the city retreated, so they no longer needed to stay in Puyang and could make other plans.

The group of people quickly headed towards the city wall without any pause. soon.

Liu Bei and others also climbed onto the city wall, walked to the city wall, and looked at the Han army camp a mile away.

I saw.

When Liu Bei and others walked up the city wall.

The Han army camp is no longer what it was before.

Everywhere is very messy, and the tents everywhere are in tatters.

The black flags that were fluttering in the wind are no longer there, and some are still upside down.

On the ground.

The village gate is wide open.

The camp, which originally had many soldiers and bright armor, seemed empty and very desolate.

"Lord, the last batch of soldiers of the Han army have just evacuated the camp.

It was only a cup of tea.

They were some logistics troops escorting grain and grass, but the rest of the soldiers and horses left for a long time."

The city guard general came to Liu Bei's side. , said with cupped hands.

He also told what he saw one by one.

Originally, when the first batch of Han troops left, he didn't care too much, but what happened next also attracted his attention.

After the first batch of Han troops left.

The remaining soldiers in the Han army's camp were dismantling the camp, so he couldn't help but pay attention.

He immediately sent people to report to Liu Bei.

He stayed on the city wall and kept paying attention to the situation of the Han army's camp, every detail.

There are no mistakes or omissions.

After all, they are not far apart, and the Han army's camp was built in a commanding position, so it can be said that it has an unobstructed view.

Hear the words.

Liu Bei also nodded, squinting at the empty Han army camp outside the city, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Pei and Xu Huang were also on the side, staring closely at the Han army camp outside the city.

See this.

The city guard didn't say anything more, but stood quietly aside. a long time "What do Zhengnan think?"

Liu Bei asked.

Shen Pei was silent for a moment and said: "My lord, it seems that the King of Han has received the news, and looking at the situation outside, the Han army retreated in such a hurry, probably because they were worried about the situation in Yizhou, and even the main camp was not completely removed. , has already left, and my subordinates think they can lead the army in pursuit."

"Why" Liu Bei was a little confused.

Now that the Han army has left, according to the current situation, they only need to wait for the Han army to leave completely and go back to support Yizhou.

There is no need to pursue them.

"Lord, the first batch of the Han army to withdraw should be the combat troops.

They should go first and rush back to Yizhou, while the ones behind are the logistics troops.

My subordinates think that they can catch up with the Han army's logistics troops and intercept them.

So At the same time, it can also increase the food and grass supplies of our army.

You must know that the food and grass supplies of the Han army are no less than that of our army."

Shen Pei paused for a moment and continued: "The logistics troops are not marching very fast, and even if our army intercepts the Han army's logistics troops and the King of Han is worried about the situation in Yizhou, he will not turn back to support him.

It can be taken without any If you are worried about something happening, you can also test whether the Han army really evacuated."

After listening to Shen Pei’s words.

Liu Bei was also moved.

There is never too much food and supplies, and marching and fighting also require the support of food and grass supplies.

If only we could get an extra batch of grain and grass supplies.

Then there is no need to worry about food shortages.

Moreover, as Shen Pei said, the logistics troops escorting the grain and grass supplies were not marching very fast.

If they wanted to pursue them, they could definitely catch up and intercept them.

The only thing to consider is how many soldiers and horses are escorting the grain and grass troops, and whether there will be any changes. immediately.

He also looked at the general who was guarding the city and asked: "How many Han troops are escorting the grain and grass supplies away, and how long does it take for the Han troops to leave before?"

"Back to my lord, the number of Han troops who left behind was about 30,000.

After the Han troops who were the first to leave the camp had a stick of incense, they began to clear out the camp, and then left with food and supplies."

Defending the city General Pian thought about it for a moment before replying.

The words fell.

Liu Bei touched his chin and pondered for a while.

His eyes slowly became firm and he said: "Stay in the south and stay in Puyang.

Gongming will follow me and lead 50,000 soldiers to pursue the pursuit, intercept the Han army's grain and grass supplies, and let Wen Jie inspect the situation everywhere."

"promise" Shen Pei and Xu Huang didn't have any objections. immediately.

I also started to prepare quickly.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no delay.

After all, the longer time passes, the farther the Han army will leave, and there will be trouble in pursuit
