The potter, who went and returned, came to Wancheng again Liu Biao was shocked.
He had previously wanted to compete with the potters for the Son of Heaven and the Central Plains, but Cai Mao's defeat had seriously damaged his self-confidence, and he had given up his previous strategy a little.
He comforted himself that even if he lost 20,000 soldiers and horses and allowed the pottery merchants to rob the Son of Heaven smoothly, he at least recaptured Wancheng and brought the entire Nanyang back into his Jingzhou rule.
Liu Biao didn't expect that the potter was not satisfied with only taking the Son of Heaven away, and actually killed it again, wanting to retake Wancheng.
"Tao thief, it's not enough for you to kill my 20,000 soldiers, you still want to recapture Wancheng, your appetite is too big" Liu Biao was shocked and angry, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. first saw through the clever plan he had with Dong Chengbu, killed Cai Zhong, destroyed his 5,000 elite soldiers, captured Wancheng from his nose, and took away the Son of Heaven.
Then, with a strange move, he wiped out his army of 20,000 without blood.
Now, he is back and wants to take away his Wancheng.
This potter is as terrible as the devil Liu Biao's expression in his heart became more and more distorted, and he had lost his sense of proportion for a while, and suddenly felt that his qi and blood were surging, and he was actually dizzy, and his body shook with him.
"My lord."
Cai Maoyue was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Biao and sit down.
After a while, Liu Biao relieved himself, and as soon as he looked up and saw Kuai Yue, he asked angrily: "Yidu, you persuaded the old man to start a war with the potter, and you had to persuade me to seize the Son of Heaven and fight for the Central Plains in the north, and said that the potter was not my opponent, but now, in less than half a month, we have lost two battles, and we have lost nearly 25,000 soldiers, what is going on?"
Kuai Yue's face was ashamed, he didn't know how to explain it for a while, glanced at Cai Mao, and sighed: "Yue's strategy was originally correct, if it weren't for General Cai's trick to lure the enemy by the pottery thief, our losses would not have been so great." ” Kuai Yue pleaded with Cai Mao, but now that Liu Biao was angry, Kuai Yue put self-protection first, so he put the responsibility on Cai Mao's body in a roundabout way.
Cai Mao's face changed, and he immediately retorted: "Kuai Yidu, this is not right, I am defeated, but didn't you say before, as long as our army does not move and advances steadily, I will definitely win, but I will all follow your method to enter the army, and I will fall into the trap of the pottery thief." ” "General Cai, you" Kuai Yue was stunned.
The two civil and military, at this time, in order to shirk their responsibilities, actually quarreled in front of Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was annoyed, slapped the case, and shouted: "Okay, don't make any more noise, shut up for me." ” The two of them were shocked, and then they closed their mouths, glared at each other, and did not dare to squeak again.
Liu Biao, who learned the truth, sat there weakly like a deflated ball, completely losing his temper.
"I knew that this potter was so good at soldiering, I shouldn't have rushed to war with him in the first place" Liu Biao shook his head and sighed, his expression was full of remorse, and there was a deep fear of the potter.
I wanted to persuade Liu Biao to start a war with the pottery merchants, snatch the Son of Heaven, and fight for the Central Plains, but he tried his best to implement it, and now, Liu Biao regrets the original strategy, which is not equivalent to a blatant slap in the face.
Kuai Yue couldn't sit still, so he cheered up and said with a smile: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, the lord has the ambition of the world, how can he be messed up because of this small defeat, don't forget, we have 100,000 people with armor in Jingxiang." ” Liu Biao's body was shocked, and his gloomy spirit seemed to rekindle Kuai Yue's words.
"You're right, the old man has 100,000 soldiers, and the soldiers used by the pottery thief are only 20,000, if the old man loses a battle, he will be afraid of him, wouldn't it make the heroes of the world laugh."
Liu Biao's momentum rose proudly again.
Kuai Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the situation and said: "Now that the army is in turmoil, and the pottery thief is menacing again, the more I think that this Wancheng is bound to be unable to defend, it is better to give it to the traitor for the time being, and when Jingxiang's reinforcements arrive, we will regroup and encircle the traitor's main force in Wancheng in one fell swoop." ” Liu Biao stood up, his eyes had burst out of fierce murderous intent, he pondered for a moment, and resolutely said: "According to the plan of the different degrees, the army will quickly abandon Wancheng, and then send an order to Huang Hansheng to lead the soldiers of Xinye, and rush to meet in the starry night, the old man does not believe it, the pottery thief has three heads and six arms." ” On the same day, Liu Biao led more than 17,000 troops to withdraw from Wancheng and retreated to thirty miles to the south.
As soon as Liu Biao walked on the front foot, the potter led the victorious army on the back foot and reoccupied Wancheng.
At this time, the Son of Heaven and the Empress, as well as the captured civil and military officials, had been sent to Xudu, Lian Po and other generals, leading the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then rushed to Wancheng.
Three days later, Huang Zhong also led more than 20,000 follow-up Jingzhou to rush from Xinye to the front line to rendezvous with Liu Biao's main force.
The enemy of the two roads combined their troops in one place, and Liu Biao's troops recovered, and once again waved his army north, approaching Wancheng Xiazhai.
At this time, the potter had already sent the Son of Heaven and all of them to Xudu safely, and he had no worries, so he could let go of his hands and feet and fight with Liu Biao.
Nanyang is very close to Xudu, if it is Liu Biao's base, the soldiers and horses will drive straight in, and they can be killed under the city of Xudu in a few days.
For the safety of the southern part of the capital of Gongwei, the potters must take Nanyang, at least the northern counties of Nanyang, including Wancheng, into their own territory.
As for Liu Biao, his attempt to seize the Son of Heaven in Nanyang has failed, and in order to seize the Central Plains, he must take Wancheng in order to use it as a springboard to take the Central Plains.
For the two of them, Wancheng is an important town that must be occupied.
As a result, the two armies once again formed a confrontation on the front line of Wancheng.
Jingzhou Army, the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Han Sheng, you are my first fierce general in Jingxiang, and it is up to you to conquer Wancheng this time."
Liu Biao smiled at the white-haired, tower-like veteran, his eyes were full of expectation, as if he had put all the hope of winning Wancheng on his shoulders.
Huang Zhong was expressionless, only bowed his hand slightly, and said coldly: "The lord's words are serious, he is loyal to an old man, he is really ashamed, if you want to say that the first general in Jingxiang, it should be General Cai." ” Huang Zhong's words were complimenting Cai Mao, but there was no compliment in his tone, on the contrary, there was a faint hint of sarcasm.
Cai Mao's face changed slightly, his expression was a little embarrassed, he could naturally hear that Huang Zhong was satirizing him for leading the army, but he was defeated by the pottery merchants, which was obviously a compliment, but in fact he was sarcastic about his incompetence.
"The old general is humble, the general is good at commanding the troops, but he is not good at charging into battle, attacking the city, the old general Huang is extraordinary in martial arts, brave and brave, this is the heavy task of capturing Wancheng, naturally the old general has to take on it."
Cai Mao didn't eat turtles either, and immediately replied, this is obviously sarcastic, no matter how strong you Huang Zhong is, he is just a military general who charges into battle, but I, Cai Mao, have the talent of a commander, and my ability is obviously greater than yours.
Huang Zhong's old face twitched slightly, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
"Old General Huang, the old man thought that the old general was old and didn't want to work the old general, so he asked the old general to sit in the rear.
I don't want the pottery thief to be too traitorous, and at this time, I have to use the old general, I don't know if the old general has confidence in capturing Wancheng."
Liu Biao saw that the two had the intention of contending, so he hurriedly pulled the topic away and led to the main topic.
Huang Zhong glared at Cai Mao, then he disdained his verbal rivalry, and said lightly with his white beard: "Wancheng is strong, it is not easy to go down, our army has lost before, and the morale of the army has been frustrated. ” "The old general can have a strategy to boost the morale of our army," Liu Biao's eyes lit up immediately.
Huang Zhong paused and arched his hand: "I don't know if the lord can borrow a pen and paper."

Liu Biao was stunned, he didn't know what Huang Zhong, a martial artist, was suddenly doing with a pen and paper inexplicably, and Kuai Yue and others were all surprised.
Liu Biao wanted to rely on Huang Zhong, but it was not easy to refuse, and immediately ordered Huang Zhong to be given pen and ink.
Huang Zhong picked up the pen, wrote down a book in two strokes, threw it to Liu's cousin's soldiers, and shouted: "Send this handwritten letter of mine to Wancheng immediately to the pottery thief." ”isjgy:
