One can imagine the anger in Xia Houlan's heart. He was also a handsome man in the army. If his ears and nose were cut off by the enemy, how could he have the face to meet other generals when he returned to the army?

In the army, he could only endure this fate.

Naturally, Li Ru would not question Pound's order. It was just to deal with the enemy's prisoners. Besides, Pound was the commander-in-chief of the army. If he expressed different opinions at this time, it would affect Pound's prestige in the army.

Xia Houlan kept yelling, hoping to anger the enemy generals, but his yelling resulted in punches and kicks from the two soldiers around him.

A dignified general in Cao's army was treated like this when he was among the enemy's army. Xiahoulan's hatred for the Jin army could not be increased.

A moment later, Xia Houlan's screams were heard outside the camp.

Wei Yan smiled and said, "I thought that Xia Houlan wouldn't scream."

The generals in the tent burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Now our army has conquered Chenggao, and Xingyang is in sight. Yan Xing, lead two thousand cavalry to Xingyang to frighten the enemy. Send more cavalry along the way to inquire about the enemy's situation, and deliver the news back to the army in time." Pang De said.

"Here." Yan Xing came out and held his fists. He was a fierce general in Liangzhou. He showed great ability on the battlefield in Liangzhou, otherwise he would not be among the generals awarded by the Jin Kingdom.

"After all the soldiers return, prepare carefully. The army will set off tomorrow." Pang De ordered.

The military general Qi said that although he did not understand why it was so urgent, being able to rush to Xingyang as soon as possible meant that there would be a new war.

The next day Pang De left two thousand defenders behind and led the rest of the soldiers towards Xingyang.

There is a cement road from Chenggao to Xingyang, but this time the vanguard of the army was replaced by Yan Xing.

Two thousand cavalrymen rushed from Chenggao to Xingyang, which was only a day's journey away. The remaining cavalrymen in the army were sent to the battlefield as scouts.

In Xingyang City, Li Dian was shocked when he learned about the situation from Cheng Gao. Only a few days had passed since the arrival of the Liangzhou Army, but Cheng Gao was defeated by the Liangzhou Army. How terrible was the Liangzhou Army?

.

After learning about the battle, Li Dian fell into silence. The loss of Cheng Gao was a big blow to his own morale. In this battle against the Liangzhou Army, his own army had an absolute advantage.

, what I didn’t expect was that some of our own generals would collude with the enemy.

If Cheng Gao is lost, the Liangzhou army will be able to attack the city. From the time Xiahou Lan sent troops to guard Cheng Gao until now, it has only been a short period of time when they failed on the battlefield of Cheng Gao. This kind of news will cause such a shock in the army.

"Invite the generals from all ministries to come to the Central Army to discuss matters." Li Dian ordered with a low expression.

After receiving Li Dian's order, the generals of various ministries immediately went to the Chinese army's tent.

After Li Dian finished describing the situation on the battlefield in Chenggao, the generals in the tent were talking about it. Xiahoulan was also a famous general in the army. He was sure of guarding Chenggao City this time. Who would have thought that his general Zhang

Shao actually chose to betray at the critical moment. The incident happened suddenly and it was not difficult for the army to break the city without much preparation.

"Cheng Gao's battle shows that there are enemy spies in our army. Zhang Shao defected to the enemy without the slightest warning, which shows that Zhang Shao had already been in contact with the enemy before. This betrayal

But let's go with the flow. I don't know how many generals like this there are in the army. With the failure of the Chenggao War, I hope you can be more cautious and learn more about the generals under your command," Li Dian said.

When things reached the current stage, Li Dian could only try his best to save the situation and prevent the same situation from happening in Xingyang.

"Although the Liangzhou army is brave, the army in Xingyang City has 16,000 people, which is numerically superior to the Liangzhou army." Liang Mao said.

The generals in the army felt much relieved after hearing this. The loss of Cheng Gao was a big blow to the morale of the army.

At this moment, news came that Xiahoulan's deputy general had returned from Chenggao with more than a thousand soldiers, and Li Dian got up and went.

Cheng Gao's incident made Li Dian more vigilant. If there were enemy soldiers among the thousands of soldiers, it would definitely have a bad impact on the army. Faced with this situation, Li Dian had to be cautious.

After catching up with the city wall, Li Dian saw the miserable situation of the soldiers outside the city. All the way from Chenggao to Xingyang, many soldiers lay down directly outside the city, with expressions of exhaustion that could not be concealed.

"Where is Xiahou Lan's lieutenant?" Li Dian shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dian noticed smoke billowing not far away, and several cavalrymen were heading toward the city at extremely fast speeds.

When the soldiers of Cao Cao who were lying scattered outside the city heard the noise, they immediately stood up, gathered together, and raised their weapons. They looked at the cavalry with some fear. During the Liangzhou Army's raid on the city, they were deeply aware of the situation.

I have fully realized the power of the enemy's cavalry. Now that I see the cavalry again, I will inevitably feel a little nervous.

The uniforms of these cavalry are indeed Jin cavalry, but the number of cavalry is only about ten.

There were still five hundred steps away from the city wall. The cavalrymen reined in their horses one after another. One cavalryman pushed Xiahoulan from his horse to the ground and shouted: "General Pound asked me to come and send General Xiahoulan away."

Come on, General Pound is too lazy to kill these incompetent people."

After these cavalrymen finished speaking, they turned their horses and drove away.

After hearing these shouts, the soldiers of Cao Cao outside the city looked at each other. Xiahoulan was a famous general in the army, but when it came to the enemy's mouth, he was so unbearable that he didn't even want to kill him. If he said it as an insult, this

This is the greatest insult to a general.

"Quickly come forward and help General Xiahou over." the deputy general ordered.

Xia Houlan was pushed to the ground by the cavalry from his horse. He was tied up by the enemy soldiers. Dust was flying everywhere. He landed on his face, his wounds were pulled, and he couldn't help but groan.

Two soldiers rushed over and helped Xiahoulan up, and were slightly stunned.

After some questioning, Li Dian ordered the city gate to be opened.

Xia Houlan had experienced the Chenggao war in detail and must have a better understanding of the situation.

But when the lieutenant general saw Xia Houlan's miserable appearance, he couldn't bear it. Originally, Xia Houlan was also a handsome man in the army, but in the hands of the enemy, he lost both ears and nose. He looked disgusting.

It feels extremely funny.

Thinking of the words of the cavalry sent by Xu Huang, the generals in the army were also furious. They were elite soldiers of Cao's army. They had never suffered such humiliation. In their eyes, Xia Houlan was already a great general, but in the eyes of the enemy, he was

It's so unbearable.
