Chapter 239

~6 min read 1,138 words

"Gao Shun's Trap Camp is too awesome! Ju Yi's Vanguard Camp is not bad either; both are great killers of cavalry!"

"I really can't imagine, Liu Bei's generals are all heaven-defying one by one!"

"My Dong Gong will be back!" the Indian netizen shouted!

The pursuit lasted for a day.

Liu Bei successfully received more than one hundred thousand shi of grain and fodder that Dong Zhuo had worked hard to transport, as well as various supplies!

Guo Jia began to report the battle results.

"Lord, our army beheaded more than fifteen thousand of Dong Zhuo's army, captured more than thirty-two thousand six hundred, and seized fifteen thousand war horses, countless weapons and armor, and two thousand sets of Flying Bear Army equipment, which are very excellent!"

Liu Bei nodded; his personal guard cavalry could be expanded to five thousand people, and the lower limit of equipment would be the configuration of the Flying Bear Army.

Dong Zhuo fled all the way to Gaoling City before stabilizing. He let Lu Bu lead twenty thousand people to guard Gaoling City!

He himself led the other troops across the Wei River and fled back to Changancheng!

Liu Bei led troops to the foot of Gaoling City but did not attack the city; instead, he led troops to move most of the commoners of Feng Yi Commandery to Bingzhou.

When the commoners heard it was Liu Bei's army, many were willing to leave.

After all, this Dong Zhuo was too cruel; in the past two years, they had been subjected to heavy taxes and levies, and they really couldn't live anymore!

The commoners of Hedong and Bingzhou had been living better and better this year!

Liu Bei also sent troops to sweep the entire area north of the Jing River and Wei River.

As long as the commoners were willing to follow him, they would be given land in Bingzhou and be tax-exempt.

The commoners were already moved; thinking that Dong Zhuo was defeated this time,

next, there would inevitably be even more heavy taxes and levies, so they hurriedly packed their luggage and went to Bingzhou to stay for a few years first!

Lu Bu stared on the city wall; let him lead troops out of the city to pursue? What if he was ambushed?

The soldiers had already become birds of fright.

Out of the city? You Lu Bu go out yourself!

Liu Bei not only won a great victory this time but also took away more than thirty thousand commoners.

Sili, which originally had a small population, now didn't even have as many people as Hedong Commandery.

Next, Dong Zhuo would face various economic problems and population problems!

Sili shook,

Liangzhou shook!

The entire Changancheng was quietly discussing when Lord Xuande would attack Changancheng!

Liu Bei did not go to attack Changancheng.

He only had thirty thousand troops; attacking Gaoling City would already suffer heavy losses, let alone Changancheng with its solid city defenses.

Knowing when to stop is the right solution; going back to develop is the real answer!

Dongjun,

"Ten Victories and Ten Defeats? This Guo Jia is actually so talented!"

Cao Cao looked at the "Ten Victories" theory on the bamboo slips, feeling sour!

"Xuande's luck is truly good!"

Before, Xi Zhicai said Guo Jia was better than him, and Cao Cao was only half-believing, but now... forget it, don't think about it!

Cao Hong curled his lips.

"Big Brother, I think it's just average. No matter how good Guo Jia makes it sound, Dong Zhuo has one hundred thousand troops, and Liu Bei only has thirty thousand!"

Xia Hou Dun snorted.

"I don't know, I thought Liu Bei defeated Dong Zhuo in one day."

Everyone burst into laughter; Xia Hou Dun's words made sense.

Cao Cao also laughed heartily.

"Liu Bei has the natural barrier of the Yellow River; he only needs to defend a few ferries steadily, mainly defending Pujin Ferry. If Dong Zhuo can't attack for a long time, he will definitely return to Changancheng."

"This time Liu Bei can hold Hedong, his prestige will definitely rise greatly; after all, this is him facing Dong Zhuo's great army alone."

Just after finishing speaking,

"Report~!"

"Lord, there is news from Changancheng!"

Cao Cao opened the bamboo slip and looked.

He was dumbfounded!

"This, this..."

Even Cao Cao was shocked by this news.

"What's wrong, Lord?"

Xun Yu asked curiously.

Cao Cao handed the bamboo slip to him.

"Liu Bei forcibly crossed Pujin Ferry and fought a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo on the wilderness, thirty thousand against one hundred thousand."

"In half a day, Dong Zhuo was defeated! He fled back to Changancheng himself, and more than twenty thousand commoners in Feng Yi Commandery and Fufeng were all taken away!"

"Impossible!"

"Dong Zhuo has one hundred thousand troops, and many Xiliang iron cavalry!"

Everyone expressed disbelief; this news was too shocking.

Cao Cao also wanted not to believe it.

Xia Hou Dun:?? The face-slapping was so fast; fortunately, everyone was in shock and didn't notice his embarrassment!

After Xun Yu finished reading, he murmured,

"Using infantry to restrain cavalry, breaking the defense with high shields and strong crossbows, Dong Zhuo was contemptuous of the enemy for a moment and was actually defeated by Liu Bei in one battle!"

Everyone also took the bamboo slips to watch and were amazed, one after another developing a sense of awe for Liu Bei.

Some military generals and civil officials had other thoughts!

Cao Cao watched it and suddenly laughed.

"Haha! Liu Bei is a capable person, worthy of our learning!"

Everyone:?? Why is the Lord laughing again?

Cao Cao explained to everyone,

"Think about it, where are the horse-raising lands of the Han Dynasty? Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, none of them have anything to do with us. My Yanzhou lacks horses, but we can develop the art of bows and crossbows!"

When everyone heard this, the Lord's words made a lot of sense, and their morale instantly went up!

"Lord is wise!"

"Lord has unique vision!"

Captain America and Hawkeye also sighed; this Lord was not chosen wrong, it's just that Liu Bei is too heaven-defying!

Cao Cao nodded, finally bluffing everyone.

"It seems we need to develop more elite troops!"

The barrage in the live broadcast room also increased.

"This Cao Cao is also quite amazing, learning instantly and raising morale!"

"It's not that easy; heavy crossbows are very expensive."

"Indeed, and Liu Bei had a plan this time, knowing you had heavy crossbows and still charging directly—that's just being brainless!"

"However, Cao Cao does have the bearing of an overlord! Will it be him and the Eared Thief fighting for the world in the future?"

"Cao Cao must still remember the hatred of the Eared Thief taking Lady Yi!" ===== CHAPTER 240 =====
