In a few days, Liu Bei's side suffered heavy losses, but in three or four days, more than 30,000 soldiers died in battle, of which Liu Bei's side accounted for more than 10,000, and the rest were all Jingzhou army generals on the Wen Ping side.

Even so, Liu Bei had no intention of stopping.

There is a posture of jade and stone burning.

Even though Wen Ping repeatedly advised him, he did not accept it, and when Wen Ping wanted to refuse the siege order, he directly pressured with military orders, so that Wen Ping had to follow suit.

After all, Liu Bei is the nominal supreme commander here, and he also has to listen to Liu Bei's orders.

However, this does not mean that Wen Ping is completely obedient, he is Liu Biao's person, and while listening to the order on the surface, he also secretly sent someone to send a letter to Liu Biao to explain the situation here.

He already had a bad hunch.

After Guan Zhanger was captured, Liu Bei was already crazy, continue like this, not to mention the defeat of Zhao Yun, they Jingzhou is even in danger of destruction.

......

"Zhao Zilong, let me out, we will fight for another three hundred rounds!

In Fan Cheng's makeshift dungeon, Zhang Fei was locked up in an iron fenced cell, shouting incessantly.

"Zhao Zilong, you are a coward! Let me out if you have a kind!

"Zhao Zi....."

Listening to Zhang Fei shouting over and over again with his big voice, Guan Yu in the prison next door had blue muscles on his forehead, and he had the intention to scold Zhang Fei a few words to shut him up.

But in the end, it turned into a tasteful sigh: "Hey....."

He looked up at the top of the prison, and his thoughts fluttered a little: "How did you end up in this field, are we slacking off all these years, that Zhao Yun is much younger than me and my third brother, and we have actually broken through to the Supreme Martial Saint Realm, but my third brother and I are still super-first-class, and we haven't even reached the super-first-class peak, hey..."

Thinking of this, Guan Yu felt a sense of frustration.

"I don't know what happened to the eldest brother, I hope he can calm down! otherwise..."

Without the help of him and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's ending would not be too good.

Guan Yu was actually very anxious in his heart, but he knew that it was useless to be anxious, and Zhao Yun couldn't let them out.

This side of the prison entrance,

At this time, several guards were also chatting in low voices.

It's been a few days, it's still so imposing!"

"I think, he's just too full, hungry for a few meals, let's see if he's still so energetic!"

Although the general ordered them not to be treated too harshly, he did not say that they must be treated well!

"Then leave it to Brother Zhang!"

"This product's voice is really loud! It makes my ears buzz! I suspect that if I stay for a long time, I will be deaf!"

"Haha! Who says it isn't?"

.......

Three days ago, the division was subordinate to this side.

Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong led an army of 150,000 and suddenly invaded the territory of the division.

With Cao Hong's 30,000-strong army as the vanguard, he directly killed Zhongmu.

On Zhongmu's side, it was raided by 10,000 cavalry led by Ma Dai, losing 3,000 men and horses, after which Ma Dai led his troops to withdraw.

Cao Hong continued to lead his troops to attack Guancheng, where he was again ambushed by the Ma Dai army, losing another 5,000 soldiers and horses, so angry that Cao Hong jumped to his feet.

But Ma Dai and his cavalry were like slippery loaches, and after taking advantage of a wave, they withdrew cleanly, without even caring about the city.

After that, Cao Hong continued to lead the vanguard army towards Xingyang and Chenggao.

Xia Houyuan in the back also followed step by step, along the way, easily went to those abandoned cities, and went deep into the territory of the division with a face.

Two days later, Cao Hong successfully crossed the Tiger Pass and arrived at Luoyang City after repeatedly finding ambushes, losing nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and receiving follow-up troops.

At this time, in fact, both Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that Gao Shun should have laid down heavy troops to block him before the Tiger Prison Pass, but the result was not the same at all.

"There are intrigues and traps in this!"

Xia Houyuan thought alertly.

But there is no way to refuse this temptation.

Because he had to attack Luoyang, take the Hangu Pass, cut off the connection between Xia Guo and Guanzhong, and then wait for the opportunity to capture Hanoi and threaten Yecheng.

Therefore, in this case, he can only be careful and careful, occupy all the key places as quickly as possible, arrange it, and then march towards Luoyang.

.......

Yecheng, under the condition that Nanyang, Qingzhou, Luoyang, Guandu and other places have fought one after another,

It's still lively!

No, it should be said that it is more lively!

Because, today is the time when the last round of the imperial examination begins.

In order not to miss this exam, Luo Xuan personally rushed back from the Guandu front line and came to preside over this examination.

Many candidates had actually heard about the war in various places, and they were very surprised to see Luo Xuan actually appear here.

"It seems that the situation on the front line is far more optimistic than we thought!"

Pang Tong touched his chin and whispered to Zhuge Liang on the side.

"Inevitably!"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly: "King Xia has always liked to plan and then move, plus the policies and systems of the Xia Kingdom have made the Xia Kingdom extremely prosperous and powerful in these years, and I am not surprised that it can calmly deal with it!"

In the past month, he has also learned a lot of information about Xia Guo and Luo Xuan that he had not been able to understand before.

I have a clearer and deeper understanding of Xia Guo's various policies today.

Even, he, Pang Tong, Zhuge Jin and others went to the countryside near Yecheng to investigate, and went deep into the local area to understand the implementation of various policies.

The harvest was great.

At this time, Kong Ming is more mature and stable than more than a month ago!

"Too!"

Pang Tong smiled and nodded.

"Okay! Stop talking! Hurry up and do a good job! The exam is about to begin!"

Zhuge Jin on the side immediately pushed the two and said in a low voice.

"Uh-huh!"

Immediately, the three of them closed their voices, entered the examination room, and also saw Luo Xuan for the second time.

This time it was close.

Luo Xuan gave them the feeling that they were young, and being young was a bit excessive!

But strangely, they didn't feel immature!

On the contrary, he felt that Luo Xuan was extraordinary, quite heroic.

Soon, the exam officially began,

Luo Xuan personally got up and announced the examination question: "This is the third round of the palace examination examination! This time the examination has only one topic: that is, on the current situation and war between the Xia Kingdom and other princes... Wait! It's a topic! You can use your talents to write answers!"

"Now, let's go!"

After that, Luo Xuan sat down in his seat again, watching the dynamics of a famous candidate, chuckling and drinking wine while examining them one by one.
