At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Dian Wei and others still fought for two hours when Liu Zhang had ordered not to pursue too much!

The Zhang Lu coalition army was too chaotic, the deeper the team went, the more chaotic the opponent became.

Dian Wei Gaoshun led the two battalions to continue to go deep, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang led the two battalions to escort the prisoners, and finally the two sides cooperated with each other to clean up the battlefield thoroughly.

This time, Dian Wei really had an addiction to fighting. In the end, even his hands were numb, and his strength was completely exhausted!

The results of this battle are also very rich. There are more than 20,000 enemy soldiers captured alone. It is roughly estimated that there are about 30,000 soldiers killed or injured on the battlefield!

Liu Zhang's four battalions of 10,000 troops almost suffered no losses. There were only more than 300 casualties, most of which were only minor injuries, and some were even caused by falls caused by excessive pursuit!

Liu Zhang and Xun You estimated that Zhang Lu's total army strength was between 60,000 and 70,000. There must be no 100,000 troops. The number of casualties and captured personnel should be 50,000 to 60,000. Those who escaped the battlefield by chance were at most about 5,000!

The fact is indeed true, Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi each fled the battlefield with their own guards. Since the soldiers from all directions were already red-eyed, even Zhang Lu could not stop them. , these four people had no choice but to abandon the army and leave alone with their cronies and guards!

After the two sides withdrew from the battlefield, the soldiers who escaped their lives also gradually returned to Fu County. In the end, according to Zhang Lu's statistics, only less than 7,000 soldiers returned!

In this battle, a total of 53,000 troops were lost!

This loss is absolutely unbearable, not only Zhang Lu, but also Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi!

The 60,000 troops brought by Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi were all brought from their respective counties, and they were also their bottom line!

Originally, I wanted to wipe out Liu Zhang in one go, and then return to their respective states and counties with the victorious soldiers, and then gradually eliminate the voices of opposition in the counties.

This is great, all the good strategies have come to naught, and the biggest reliance of 20,000 soldiers has already been converted into more than half!

Not to mention the elimination of Liu Zhang, even if they return to the county, whether they can secure the position of prefect is unknown!

Zhang Lu is even more miserable. All the soldiers and horses in his hands add up to less than 10,000 people! For Zhang Wei alone, there are more than 15,000 soldiers and horses!

How many soldiers and horses are there in the entire Guanghan County?

"Three prefects, our army has been newly defeated, and I don't know what to do?"

At this point, Zhang Lu was helpless, he couldn't handle Liu Zhang at all, so he could only spread the pressure on everyone.

"Master Zhang, it was your brother who caused the disaster, but now you are asking us what to do? We each lost more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and we want to ask you what to do!"

Zhao Wei couldn't stand it first, and besides Zhang Lu, he was the most miserable here.

Berkshire is the largest county in Yizhou, with a population of over one million. The Zhao family is not a single-handed existence in Berkshire, but just a top family!

The 20,000 people are the key to the Zhao family's control of Berkshire and their complete control of Berkshire in the future!

But now there are only more than 6,000 people left!

Whether these 6,000 people can cope with the counterattack against the Zhao family's family is still unknown!

"Ren Taishou, you can't say that. Liu Zhang has dealt with me, will he let you go?"

Zhang Lu was furious immediately, and could not accept Zhao Wei's words at all.

If Jia Long, Zhao Wei, and Ren Qi retreated separately, then Zhang Lu would definitely not be able to stop Liu Zhang!

"Let me tell you the truth, if I'm done, you all don't want to feel better!"

Faced with Zhang Lu's behavior of smashing the jar, Ren Qi did not dare to offend him again, after all, Guanghan County is Zhang Lu's territory!

Jia Long and Ren Qi were also silent. Compared with Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei, the situation of these two people is not bad after all.

Shu County is the largest plain in Yizhou, with a large population, but the aristocratic families here are relatively united. Even if Jia Long loses all his soldiers and horses, he will be able to stabilize the situation after returning.

There are many alien races in Qianwei County, and the Han people here are not strong at all. Ren Qi was able to dominate Qianwei County because of his close relationship with the barbarians. His soldiers and horses were damaged as soon as possible, and he could go to the barbarians to borrow troops. The casualties are not entirely unacceptable.

Even so, Jia Long and Ren Qi are very heartbroken, after all, it is not easy to pull up an army of 20,000! Moreover, these soldiers and horses have all fought against the Yellow Turban Horse Prime Minister, and they can be said to be 'elite soldiers' who have experienced the baptism of blood.

"Prefect Zhang, the three of us brought a total of 60,000 troops to support you. Now the total of the three of us is less than 20,000. Isn't this the best of humanity? You really shouldn't embarrass us anymore."

In the end, it was Jia Long who broke the awkward atmosphere and told Zhang Lu about the difficulties of the three of them.

From Jia Long's position, his loss of more than 10,000 people is really nothing.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Shu County had a population of more than 1.3 million. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Maxiang Rebellion, it was still a large county with a population of over one million. As long as Jia Long returns to Shu County, he can easily pull up a team of 10,000 people.

However, Jia Long wasn't being taken advantage of. It was impossible for him to give unrestrictedly for Zhang Lu, but now that he was in Guanghan County, he naturally couldn't directly fight against Zhang Lu. It is precisely for this reason that Jia Long is willing to ease the relationship between several people.

Zhang Lu must give Jia Long face, and Guanghan County will have to rely on the help of Shu County in the future, so the relationship between Zhang Lu and Jia Long is naturally the top priority.

"Prefect Jia, you have personally experienced today's situation. The 60,000 army was beaten to pieces by Liu Zhang. Is it my fault?"

"There is also what the prefect said. What is our brother's fault? Liu Zhang took the imperial decree to inherit the Yizhou pastoral! If he inherited the Yizhou pastoral, do you think it will be your turn to be the prefect? ​​If Liu Zhang sits As for the position of Yizhou Mu, I am a lesson for you, and you will not escape the end of being defeated by everyone!"

The more Zhang Lu spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had been greatly wronged, and also as if he was doing everything for others.

Zhao Wei looked aggrieved, but in the end he didn't open his mouth to refute.

"Prefect Zhang, what do you want?"

The situation was deadlocked again, and finally it was up to Jia Long to break the embarrassment.

"It's very simple, everyone still needs to help me defend Fu County."

Zhang Lu directly stated his request, but the expressions on the faces of the three people were different, and Zhao Wei even had anger in his eyes.

"It's really not that I, Zhang Lu, make things difficult for everyone. Think about it, Fu County is almost the dividing line of Guanghan County, and after Fu County is Mianzhu! Once Fu County and Mianzhu are lost, then I will only be left with Luo County. This Guanghan prefect is still a fart!"

Zhang Lu didn't continue to speak, but his meaning was already very obvious.

Anyway, without Fu County, Mianzhu will not be able to defend it, and without Mianzhu, Luo County will become an isolated city. At that time, I will only lead you to Shu County!
