Zhang He killed Chen Deng on the battlefield, which not only surprised Zhuge Liang, but also relieved Liu Xie.
Although he won't make any deal with Chen Gui, nothing is the best option.
Chen Deng is dead, what else can Chen Gui think of.
But this also made him wary.
Under such circumstances, Shen Pei and Tian Feng dared to take the initiative to attack, and they would definitely achieve such results. The siege of Yecheng in the future would be a tough battle, and the casualties would not be small.
It might be naive to expect them to surrender.
Also, Zhang He is really good at fighting, and he actually managed to sneak attack Chen Deng under the noses of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
He is worthy of being one of the five good generals, someone who can make Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang look up to him.
Zhang Fei is not yet mature and cannot step on Zhang He to become famous, he can only be stepped on by Zhang He.
"Summon Huang Yi back and order Jiang Wu Tang to review the battle and analyze the gains and losses."
"Wei." Zhuge Liang bowed and retreated.
After leaving the imperial tent and arranging relevant affairs, Zhuge Liang found Zhuge Jin and conveyed the relevant news.
After learning that Chen Deng had been killed in battle, Zhuge Jin felt very depressed and did not speak for a long time.
Although he is no longer Chen Deng's staff, he still has some feelings for Chen Deng. Hearing that Chen Deng died like this makes him feel really bad.
He asked Zhuge Liang again, do you really think your third brother is suitable for joining the army?
Zhuge Liang said that if he was like Chen Deng and could not let go of his scholar-bureaucrat habits and could not recognize from the bottom of his heart that all people are scholars, he would not be able to do anything, let alone join the army.
Zhuge Jin's face felt a little hot after hearing this.
Chen Deng is the only one who acknowledges that all people are soldiers, but still unconsciously despises ordinary soldiers in his heart.
Zhang He killed Chen Deng on the battlefield, and the morale of the Jizhou army soared. While the judge was excited, he was also a little depressed.
Chen Deng is Chen Qiu's grandson. Logically speaking, he has the obligation to take care of Chen Deng. However, Chen Deng was defeated by Zhang He twice, and this time he lost his life. It can be said that his reputation was ruined.
If we meet again under Jiuquan in the future, how can he have the dignity to meet Chen Qiu again?
After death, it can be said that the current troubles are even more troublesome.
After Chen Qun received the news, he told Shen Pei in front of many people that this move was against the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, and Shen Pei should apologize to the Chen family in Xiapi and give Chen Deng a generous burial.
The judge also felt that Tian Feng had done something inappropriate and he should have discussed it with him beforehand. But he just wanted to apologize to Mr. Xi Pi Chen.
When the two armies are fighting, casualties are inevitable. Besides, Chen Deng is leading his troops to attack. If we don't fight back, will we be tied up?
It is indeed a pity that Chen Deng was killed in battle, but it was an accident and not intentional.
Chen Qun was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the judge and announced that he would not associate with unjust people.
Shen Pei was furious and wanted to lock Chen Qun up and let him be with those Ru Ying people.
Tian Feng persuaded him.
Tian Feng said, Chen Qun is just a scholar and can't achieve much. But he is the grandson of Chen Shi and the son of Chen Ji. He enjoys the legacy of his father and ancestors and is quite famous among scholar-bureaucrats and knights. If you lock him up, you will only
It will make those scholar-bureaucrats and knight-errants who are already doubtful feel disgusted and cause trouble.
Just be a scholar-bureaucrat. The knight-errants have a great influence in the army. It is not appropriate to mess up your position at this time.
Shen Pei had no choice but to endure it.
But he didn't want to see Chen Qun again. Privately, he told his son Shen Ying and Shen Jun that although the emperor had many shortcomings, it still made sense not to want to see the scholar-bureaucrats. Especially those self-righteous scholars, they couldn't treat them
Be human.
When there was a lot of discussion in Ye city, Liu Bei, Fazheng, and Huang Yi rushed to Xingzai, reported the battle to Liu Xie face to face, and asked the emperor to punish him.
He took over all responsibilities and expressed his gratitude to Huang Yi for the reminder.
Huang Yi not only helped them build ordnance, but also reminded Zhang Fei in time. If Huang Yi hadn't stopped them, the losses might have been even greater.
As for Fazheng, according to the situation at the time, Fazheng's suggestion was reasonable and reasonable. Chen Deng was killed in battle and his men were defeated. This was something that no one expected, and it is understandable.
Liu Xie was very satisfied with Liu Bei's responsibility.
Fa Zheng is extremely grateful.
Liu Bei has shouldered the main responsibility. Even if the emperor wants to hold him accountable, Liu Bei's face must be considered and will not be expanded indefinitely.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Xie then asked about the course of the battle.
Liu Bei had made a written report before, but if he said it again in person, there would be more content that was inconvenient to write down on paper.
Such as cavalry.
Liu Bei has always been short of cavalry. The thousand miscellaneous cavalry brought to the Central Plains ten years ago have been reduced to a few after years of fighting. They can only be used as bodyguard cavalry without an independent cavalry establishment.
One of the main reasons for Zhang He's successful sneak attack this time was that Chen Deng did not have enough bodyguard cavalry. The only Baishi cavalry formed a formation to cover the infantry and faced the opponent's rangers. Chen Deng did not have many knights around him, so Zhang He
The father and son attacked with cavalry and succeeded with one blow.
The reason why Zhang Fei did not send reinforcements in time was because the cavalry under his command was limited. Even if he reluctantly sent them out, they would not be Zhang He's opponent and would only increase casualties.
The only person capable of fighting Zhang He was the personal cavalry commanded by Chen Dao, but he was entangled by the cavalry sent by Gao Lan and could not get away.
If Zhang Fei had a thousand cavalry and timely reinforcements, there might be another result.
After Liu Xie heard this, he immediately expressed that he would allocate a group of war horses to Liu Bei for Liu Bei to form cavalry.
Liu Bei was extremely grateful.
Liu Xie then asked a question: Although Chen Deng did not have enough cavalry to fight Zhang He, he had five to six thousand infantry, and there was a hundred-foot-wide Zhang River in front of him. How could he let Zhang He easily charge into the Chinese army?
He is not a cavalry general and needs to take the lead.
Liu Bei said that he found this issue unbelievable at first. Later, he returned to the camp, collected the defeated troops, and learned about the situation in detail, and then he understood the whole story.
There are two main reasons: First, Chen Deng did not expect that Zhang He would lead a cavalry raid in person, and was not well prepared. Second, he suffered too much loss when he attacked Wei County last time, and the soldiers had not yet recovered, and their combat effectiveness was insufficient.
These two reasons led Chen Deng to form a formation, but he was not mentally prepared for the battle. In order to urge the infantry to cross the river, Chen Deng himself placed the Chinese army too far forward and had already reached the river bank.
When Zhang He's cavalry attacked, the infantry panicked and failed to use their bows and crossbows in time to effectively block the attack, allowing the cavalry to rush into the formation easily.
As Liu Bei spoke, he drew a diagram based on the information he learned, marking the positions of both parties at that time.
After reading the diagram, Liu Xie shook his head.
Chen Deng underestimated the enemy too much and failed to take proper precautions.
In other words, although he was defeated once, he did not learn the lesson and was defeated again by the tactics of cavalry surprise attack.
But from another perspective, this also illustrates a problem: the biggest difference between Jizhou and the Central Plains may be that it is more suitable for cavalry to gallop. Whoever can take advantage of the cavalry will have greater initiative.
Thirty miles is the limit for infantry, but it is the effective killing distance for cavalry. Chen Deng thought that he was safe at thirty miles away from Zhang He, but for Zhang He, this was the most comfortable position. If he did not fight, it would be impossible.
Don't stop yourself.
Liu Xie immediately thought of Sun Ce.
There is a lack of cavalry, and it is not only Chen Deng who lacks awareness of the threat of cavalry, but also Sun Ce.
