Battle Situation After the Battle
After Yang Feng was slapped unconscious by Liu Xie, Liu Xie turned to Xu Huang with a smile.
When Xu Huang, who was tied up, saw Liu Xie looking over, his heart unconsciously tightened. He could not help but think of Yang Feng, who had just been slapped unconscious, and he became a little nervous.
" General Xu." Liu Xie looked at Xu Huang with ill intentions.
Before he could continue speaking, Xu Huang interrupted him and said," You can kill me, but you can't humiliate me. Liu Xie, you should just kill me!"”
"Oh?" Liu Xie had a playful look on his face." Since General Xu has such a backbone, then alright, give me my sword!”
Zhang Liao, who was standing at the side, saw that Liu Xie really wanted to kill Xu Huang. He couldn't help but step forward to stop him, but he was pulled back by Wu Yong. Zhang Liao looked at Wu Yong in confusion, but Wu Yong only smiled and shook his head slightly at Zhang Liao.
"My lord, the sword is here." The subordinate next to him handed a long, sharp face to Liu Xie. Liu Xie rubbed the edge of the sword, and the sharp sword edge shone with a blazing white light.
" General Xu, I respect you for being a man," Liu Xie said as he slashed down with his sword.
Xu Huang closed his eyes when he saw Liu Xie's sword approaching. He sighed in his heart. The chaotic world was about to begin, but there was no time for him to make any contributions…
"Pa!" A crisp sound rang out. The death that Xu Huang had expected did not come. Instead, he felt his body relax as if something that was binding him had been released.
Xu Huang could not help but open his eyes in confusion. He saw a smiling face looking at him. The sword was hanging on the ground, and the rope on his body had been cut off by the sword, leaving it scattered on the ground.
" Your Highness," Xu Huang suddenly escaped death, but he was still at a loss.
" Hahaha," Liu Xie laughed and patted the latter's shoulder with both hands." I've frightened General Xu. General Xu is so loyal and brave. How could I bear to kill General Xu?"”
"Quick, take a seat!" Liu Xie handed the sword in his hand to the guard beside him and ordered the latter to take a seat for Xu Huang.
The bodyguard hurriedly moved a seat to the side. Xu Huang was slightly stunned, but he understood Liu Xie's true intentions. Liu Xie was treating the virtuous with such courtesy, so he must have developed a heart for him. Thinking of this, Xu Huang calmed down.
" General Xu." Liu Xie personally poured a cup of wine and walked towards Xu Huang." General Xu, I am very grateful that you showed mercy during the battle. Please drink this cup!"”
Xu Huang hurriedly stood up and drank the wine without any hesitation.
" Haha, good." Liu Xie laughed." General Xu is really a forthright man."”
"Your Highness, you don't have to beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say.”Xu Huang drank a cup of wine and didn't treat him as an outsider. He directly told him Liu Xie's intention.
" Haha, General Xu, you misunderstood me." Liu Xie shook his head and laughed." I don't have any ulterior motives. I just admire General Xu's character."”
" Uh…" Xu Huang did not continue. He thought that since he had made things clear, Liu Xie would definitely recruit him. However, Liu Xie's words caught Xu Huang off guard.
"General Xu, from now on, you will be my honored guest. You can walk around the military camp as you wish, and no one can stop you.”The first half of Liu Xie's sentence was directed at Xu Huang, while the second half was directed at the generals in the camp.
The generals saw how serious Liu Xie was, and all of them cupped their hands in obeisance.
" Alright," Liu Xie turned around and returned to the main seat." General Xu, I see that you're quite restrained. Why don't you come to my camp for a walk?"”
" Er…" Xu Huang was speechless when he heard Liu Xie's words. He secretly thought that Prince Chen Liu was really magnanimous. He immediately asked," Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape?"”
" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Liu Xie waved his hand casually, looking indifferent. He glanced at Xu Huang from the corner of his eye." What's there to be afraid of? Get out, get out."”
This time, it wasn't just Xu Huang. Almost everyone in the tent was speechless. Those who didn't know the relationship between the two of them would think that the two of them had been gay friends for many years.
Even Wu Yong frowned slightly. He also could not understand why Liu Xie trusted this surrendered general so much. Was he really crazy?
However, Liu Xie's lips were curled into a smile. Seeing Xu Huang walking out of the tent with his head turned back three times with every step, the smile on his lips grew even wider. Liu Xie was definitely not a crazy person, nor was he suddenly crazy. The reason why he trusted Xu Huang so much was partly because of his understanding of Xu Huang, and partly because the system had just notified him that Xu Huang's charm had turned into loyalty. Since he already had loyalty, it meant that Xu Huang would not betray him. Although his loyalty was quite low, he still had some loyalty!
Because of this, Liu Xie was able to let Xu Huang roam freely in his camp without any wariness towards him.
After Xu Huang left, Liu Xie's expression turned serious. He sat on the main seat and asked," Where's Gao Shun?”
"I'm here!" Gao Shun, who was sitting on the right side of the hall, listened to Liu Xie's words and could not help but obey.
"How are the casualties in this battle?”
Hearing Liu Xie's question, Gao Shun cupped his fists and said," This battle seems to be a great victory for us, but it's also a miserable victory.”
Hearing Gao Shun's words, a trace of gloom rose in the hearts of the generals. Gao Shun continued," Our infantry army has more than 2,200 people, with more than 600 casualties. The cavalry army has 800 people, with 300 casualties.”
After hearing such a heavy number, Liu Xie could not help but be silent. In one battle, his 3,000-plus people had shrunk by a third. Moreover, he still had several generals guarding him.
"However, although our side suffered heavy losses, our military achievements were glorious. Our army took in nearly 3,000 White Wave Army soldiers and killed nearly 1,000.”
Gao Shun's words immediately eased the atmosphere in the tent quite a bit.
" Yes, our battle record is indeed brilliant. However, this battle has also exposed a fatal flaw of ours." Liu Xie paced around and looked at everyone's puzzled eyes. He continued," Our investigative ability is too weak. A thousand Western Liang soldiers were lying in ambush right under our noses, but we were completely unaware of it. That was why Luo Man and Yang Feng attacked us from both sides, causing us such serious casualties.”
Liu Xie's tone was low. Then, he changed the topic." Although we have many generals, we can't make good use of them. In battle, it's not just about individual bravery, but the overall momentum!”
Looking at the silent crowd, Liu Xie didn't know what to say." Alright, since the battle situation has been calculated, no matter what, we won. So, everyone, eat a good meal tonight to reward the three armies." Alright, everyone can leave now! Gao Shun, stay behind."
Hearing this, everyone's expression relaxed slightly. They all cupped their fists and then filed out of the tent.
"My lord!" Gao Shun waited until everyone else had walked out before he asked in puzzlement," What's the matter, my lord?”
" Gao Shun," Liu Xie poured a cup of tea and drank it by himself." Remember when you said you wanted to build an invincible army?”
" Of course I remember." Gao Shun's face flushed slightly from excitement." That's the army that I've been pursuing.”
When he said this, Gao Shun could not help but look at Liu Xie in shock. He had some guesses in his heart, but he did not dare to believe it. His voice trembled as he said," Could it be that my lord…"
"Yes." Liu Xie said without hesitation.
