"Boom!" Outside of Shouchun, in Zhang Xiu's camp, Zhang Xiu suddenly flipped the table in his tent.
"Defeated, defeated!" Zhang Xiu looked at the person kneeling in front of him and said these two words. The 8,000 Xiliang Cavalry were all heavy cavalry. They were the elites of Xiliang under Zhang Xiu's command. But now, they were defeated. Only a thousand of them came back. Most of them were seriously injured. In other words, Zhang Xiu lost 6,000 troops. The person kneeling in front of him said that he only lost a thousand men. Hu Che Er did not dare to lie because he knew that Zhang Xiu had always trusted him. This was because Hu Che Er never dared to hide anything in front of Zhang Xiu. If Zhang Xiu knew that Hu Che Er lied, then Hu Che Er's position in Zhang Xiu's heart would be greatly reduced.
"Damn it, damn it!" Zhang Xiu was extremely angry. It was not only because he lost 6,000 troops, but also because of Liu Mang's letter of challenge. It clearly stated that Liu Mang disdained his Xiliang Cavalry. Zhang Xiu wanted Hu Che Er to attack because he wanted to defeat Liu Mang's army and take Liu Mang's head to vent his anger. Now, his anger had turned into disgust. The defeat this time was not only because the Xiliang Cavalry had lost a large number of men, but also because Zhang Xiu had lost all his face.
The other side only had 2,500 men. Although they had the help of ballistas, the spectators didn't care if they were ambushed or not. They only cared about the result. Their 8,000 heavy cavalry had lost to 2,500 heavy infantry in a battle on the plains.
"Why didn't you die? Why did you come back?" Zhang Xiu's anger surged as he thought about it. He directly kicked Hu Che Er. Hu Che Er had lost an arm and his body was weak. He could not avoid it. Even if he could, he did not dare to. On the other hand, Zhang Xiu was a refined god. One could imagine the strength of his kick.
Hu Che Er was directly sent flying by Zhang Xiu's kick. He fell heavily on the ground. "Cough, cough, cough!" Hu Che Er's face suddenly turned pale. He began to spit out blood from the corner of his mouth. The wound on his arm that had just scabbed opened again. Blood flowed out from the wound.
Hu Che Er's face turned pale from the pain, but he did not say anything.
"General Yang Wu, General Yang Wu!" Just as Zhang Xiu was about to make a move, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande's voices came from outside the tent. With Zhang Xiu's acquiescence, Liu Bei and Pang Tong entered Zhang Xiu's tent. Liu Bei looked at Hu Che Er who was lying on the ground and did not dare to move. He quickly went forward to help Hu Che Er up. However, Hu Che Er refused Liu Bei's good intentions. Without Zhang Xiu's order, he did not dare to get up. Liu Bei also knew that this was Zhang Xiu's family matter and could not intervene. Therefore, he did not insist on helping Hu Che Er up.
"What? Is Lord Xuande here to laugh at me? "Zhang Xiu's tone was very bad. After all, he was in a bad mood. No one would be happy after losing thousands of troops and losing face. Now that Liu Bei came to his camp, it was inevitable that Zhang Xiu would think about it.
"Ai!" Liu Bei shook his head and sighed. "General Yang Wu, you misunderstood! How could I laugh at you? You and I are now one body. How could I laugh at you? General Hu Che Er has lost a lot of troops. I, Liu Bei, will also not feel good. With the supply route blocked, my tens of thousands of troops will not have rations. If we cannot take down Shouchun, then we can only retreat! " Liu Bei's face was also bitter. Originally, he really wanted to laugh at Zhang Xiu's army. This was because as long as Zhang Xiu sent troops to fight with Liu Mang, then he, Liu Bei, would benefit. He could weaken Zhang Xiu and restrain Liu Mang's army. It would be even better if both sides suffered heavy losses. Not only would the supply route be opened, there would also be no hidden danger behind him. Even if he did not fight to the death, he would still get a lot of benefits. For example, he would not have to worry about food. But now, this Hu Che Er was fighting with Liu Mang to the death.
Of the eight thousand troops that went out, only a thousand returned. Liu Bei found out from the Xiliang Cavalry that they had lost so many troops and only dealt 2000 damage to the enemy. This 2000 damage was an exaggeration. In Liu Bei's opinion, it was at most a thousand.
Liu Mang had the Black Chess and Urban Management troops in his hands. In total, he had ten thousand people. But now, he had only lost a tenth of them. His main force's strength did not decrease by much. Now, the threat of Liu Mang's army was still there. The supply route from Yuzhou was also gone. Therefore, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu had a bitter expression. When Hu Che Er arrived at the camp, Liu Bei immediately came to discuss with Zhang Xiu.
"It is all because of this damn barbarian! Trash! "Zhang Xiu saw that Liu Bei also had the same fate as him. Naturally, he did not lose his temper. However, when he saw Hu Che Er, Zhang Xiu's anger rose again. This Hu Che Er had defeated almost half of Zhang Xiu's troops! Previously, when he was ambushed by Liu Bei's Liao Hua, his two thousand elite Xiliang Cavalry had turned into bubbles. But now, Hu Che Er was able to defeat several thousand heavy armored infantry. How could Zhang Xiu not be angry? He thought about this and prepared to teach Hu Che Er a lesson.
"General Yang Wu, please calm down. General, please calm down!" Liu Bei quickly went forward to stop Zhang Xiu. Liu Bei also wanted Zhang Xiu to kick Hu Che Er to death. However, Liu Bei had no choice but to organize Zhang Xiu. This was because this matter was related to Liu Bei's ability to win over Zhang Xiu's army. This was also because of Liu Xuande's benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, Liu Bei had to act on the surface. However, this was only on the surface. This was why Liu Bei did not want Zhang Xiu to kick Hu Che Er to death. Hu Che Er's suffering had nothing to do with Liu Bei.
"General, although Hu Che Er is only a barbarian, he is still loyal to the general. If the general kills Hu Che Er now, it will make the soldiers bitterly disappointed!" Liu Bei's ability to speak was very good. On one hand, he was persuading Zhang Xiu to stop beating Hu Che Er. On the other hand, he was trying to make Hu Che Er look bad. Originally, Zhang Xiu did not intend to kill Hu Che Er. He only wanted to kick Hu Che Er a few more times to vent his anger. However, now he wanted to kill Hu Che Er. This made Hu Che Er feel bitterly disappointed with Zhang Xiu.
"Him!" He was pulled back by Liu Bei. Although Zhang Xiu's martial arts were good, Liu Bei was not bad either. Moreover, it was impossible for Zhang Xiu to fall out with Liu Bei. Therefore, he was pulled back by Liu Bei. This made Zhang Xiu think carefully. Although Hu Che Er had lost thousands of soldiers and made Zhang Xiu lose face, he was still loyal. Otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with important tasks by Zhang Xiu for so many years. He had followed Zhang Xiu for so many years. Zhang Xiu would be lying if he said that he had no feelings for Hu Che Er. Moreover, Hu Che Er was in a sorry state and his arm was broken. He was very pitiful. Thinking about this, Zhang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Get up!"
"Yes!" Hu Che Er did not say a word as he stood up with difficulty. He only had one arm left. Liu Bei gave Pang Tong a look and Pang Tong quickly helped Hu Che Er stand up. Hu Che Er looked at Liu Bei with gratitude. He had treated Liu Bei so badly, but Liu Bei actually pleaded for mercy for him. How could Hu Che Er not be moved?
"I will personally lead my troops to Guangzhou and have a showdown with that Liu Mang brat!" Zhang Xiu hated Liu Mang. He wanted to lead the Xiliang Cavalry to fight with Liu Mang and regain his face.
When Liu Bei and Pang Tong heard Zhang Xiu's words, they turned pale with fright. If Zhang Xiu ran away, what would Liu Bei do? One must know that Zhang Xiu was a cavalry. He could come and go as he pleased. However, Liu Bei was basically an infantry. Now that there was not much food left, where would he run to if he was left behind?
