Chapter 146 Heavenly Joke

The broken city seemed so lonely among the beacon fires, and the roaring sound rang through the sky. The scarlet fire bomb was like a meteor in the sky, passing through the sky above Wancheng.

The long-lasting silence of the wild smoke, and the blood is everywhere in the sky, and it is as full of death as the end of the world.

Cai Tong, who was in a coma, was carried on his shoulder by the Chu army soldiers, and his expression was unconscious. When he woke up, the Wancheng where Cai Tong had dreamed of for many years had long been hidden in the smoke of war.

Leaning on the water, he swallowed the green water in the lake like a goose in his mouth, and his face covered with ashes was full of numbness.

After finally calming down the depression of anxiety in the body, his whole body was tense, and Cai Tong let out a long whistle to the sky.

"Huan Wu!"

It took only nine days for Liang Jun to recapture Wancheng from Cai Tong, causing him to make a huge joke.

After venting, Cai Tong's body soothed and became calm again.

Cai Tong originally thought that with the combat power of the Chu army, even if he lost to the Liang army in the field, he would be enough to defend Wancheng. But what Cai Tong did not expect was that Huan Wu was more skilled.

With the inside and outside, we traveled for a hundred miles. In just nine days, the world's strong city fell into Huan Wu's hands again.

Thinking of this, Cai Tong felt endless hatred in his heart.

In this hatred, there are both Huan Wu and Yang Xian. In a sense, it is the two that work together that makes him, Cai Tong, a big joke to ridicule the heroes of the world.

Yang Xian may have seen the depth of it for a long time, so he gave up these more than ten counties. What’s ridiculous is that when Cai Tong got those more than ten counties, he was still complacent.

"The order was sent to our army that was deploying defenses around Wancheng to shrink across the board and retreat to Qingyang."

"But Marquis, the Liang army has already conquered Wancheng. If our army retreats and the Liang army chases after them, they will probably be defeated thousands of miles!"

"Don't worry, now that Huan Wu has taken Wancheng, he probably has looked at Rang County in his eyes."

Cai Tong smiled. Although he was defeated in a mess, he did not slaughter his spirit. He retreated to Qingyang County, but could sit alone in a tall building, and smiled at the old thief Huanwu fighting with Yang Xian's child.

After obtaining Qingyang County, the Chu army cannot be said to have no gains in this battle. You must know that Qingyang County is also a large county with a population of tens of thousands.

Thinking of this, Cai Tong no longer hesitated. He looked back at the city hidden in the dust and fog, and gritted his teeth.

"Walk!"

At night, in Wancheng, Huan Zhong's General's Mansion in the South.

Huan Wu was not very happy when Wancheng was lost and recovered. Looking at the house without any oil and water that was plundered by Yang Xian, and looking at the carvings that were scratched without any color, he suddenly felt a sense of mutual appreciation for Yang Xian.

Huan Zhong knelt in the lobby, behind Huan Wu, and knocked on the ground with his head. On both sides were a group of Liang generals, including Huan Qing and Huan Heng.

"I am incompetent and I have to let my lord down, please give me a mouth."

In just a short time, Huan Zhong has grown much older now. He kneeled on the ground, not as good as he was before, and almost all the generals of the Liang army could not recognize him.

As the general of the Southern Expedition, Huan Zhong held 130,000 troops, but such a big chaos occurred. Now only 30,000 or 40,000 left in the 130,000 Liang army. However, Wancheng has changed hands several times, and this world-famous city is no longer as prosperous as before.

The generals stood silently, looked at Huan Zhong without saying a word.

"Who is the fault of Nanyang?"

Huan Zhong was Huan Wu's brother, but Huan Wu could not openly protect him. One of the important reasons why the Liang army was able to conquer such a large territory today was that Huan Wu had clear rewards and punishments.

But someone must take the blame for such a big deal.

"Reported to the lord, Nanyang's mistakes are the crimes of Jin Xin alone."

At this time, Huan Wu's adviser Zhao Ye walked out of the crowd and bowed and said.

“Why?”

"Although General Huan Zhong has a minor mistake, he has no big mistake. If it weren't for that guy Jin Xin who had been betrayed the lord's grace and surrendered to the Shu army, how could Yang Xian easily take Rang County, Wancheng and even more than a dozen counties in Nanyang? How could the soldiers of our army fall to such a level? How could the lord be captured by Yang Xian after years of accumulation? The lord has a great kindness to Jin Xin, but Jin Xin is a snake-scorpion-like nature, which is really despised."

"What do you think of the generals?"

"The last generals think that what Lord Zhao said is reasonable."

A group of Liang generals walked out of the queue and agreed.

"In this way, General Huan Zhongzheng Nan was stripped of his position and demoted him to a commoner, and he was told to the three armies to be punished."

"I thank you for your kindness."

Huan Zhong's head hit the ground heavily, with tears in his eyes. He understood that although Nanyang had fallen to such a level because of Jin Xin's rebellion. However, as the highest commander of the Liang army in Nanyang, Huan Zhong could not escape the blame.

Huan Wu left his life and thought of his brotherly love for many years.

"Lord, although Cai Tong has retreated, Yang Xian is still in Rang County. If he is allowed to retreat back to Yizhou safely, then our army will become a laughing stock for all the people in the world. How can we keep our soldiers?"

Huan Youji walked out and said angrily, followed by a large number of responses.

Everyone can see who was the one who got the biggest advantage in the Nanyang Battle this time? Yang Xian was in Rang County at this time, more than a hundred miles away from Wancheng.

If the army moves in a hurry, it will arrive in one day. At one time, many Liang generals asked for battle.

Huan Wu smiled, stretched out his hands and pressed them, pressed the generals' emotions, and then pointed among the crowd.

"You guys just go there!"

When people left the hall, Huan Wu, Meng Qing and Huan Qing were left in this huge hall for a moment.

Looking at Huan Qing's desire to speak but stop, Huan Wu chuckled and said, "Qing'er, do you have anything you want to say?"

"Yes! Now Yang Xian has sent all the food and grass and the family of the Heizai Army to Dankou, and the Shu army has also begun to set up defenses in Rangshan. Yang Xian obviously has no intention of defending Rang County, but only wants to defend the dangerous situation, stop our army's offensive, and buy time. Why do my father still let the generals go this time?"

Huanwu smiled and said, "Qing'er, I'm very pleased that you can see this layer. So there is one thing next, I want you and Zong Shi to do it."

"My father asks me to rush all the people who were separated by the war near Wancheng to Rang County. I want to see if Yang Xian will take these people in for his reputation?"

Meng Qing was surprised. Huan Wu's move was really poisonous! If Yang Xian left, the reputation of benevolence and righteousness he had maintained for a long time would be gone. But if those people were taken in, Yang Xian would not be able to escape in a short time and was stared at Rang County by Liang Jun.
