Chapter 1465: Kuafu Zhuri
Liu Ji's situation in Yizhou was not good either. He was about to unify the center of Shu, but he didn't want to kill Li Shimin halfway. Liu Yu and Li Shimin joined forces, and the Shu army's situation was gone forever.
In Yizhou today, Liu Ji, Liu Yu and Li Shimin are three pillars;
Liu Ji occupied southern Sichuan, eastern Sichuan, and half of central Sichuan, basically occupying half of Yizhou;
Liu Yu occupied western Sichuan and most of central Sichuan, while Li Shimin occupied northern Sichuan and the entire Hanzhong County;
Liu Jizeng also quickly defeated the coalition forces of Liu Yu and Li Shimin, but the two coalition forces were obviously not that weak together, and Li Shimin later sent more troops to Yizhou.
Therefore, without any external intervention, it was too difficult for Liu Ji to quickly unify the Five Yizhous, but there were no princes around him who could directly send troops to help him.
Just as no one wants to see Liu Xiu unify Jiaozhou, no one wants to see Liu Ji, an ambitious man, unify Yizhou.
In desperation, Liu Ji could only temporarily suspend the war with Liu Yu and Li Shimin, recuperate and accumulate strength. After the results of the battle were completely digested and the strength became strong, it would not be too late to send troops to eliminate Liu Yu and unify Yizhou.
After a year of cultivation and rejuvenation, the Shu Kingdom's comprehensive national strength has increased greatly, and its military strength has also increased a lot.
Just when Liu Ji was considering whether to send troops to attack Liu Yu, Liu Xiu took the initiative to send envoys to join the alliance.
Liu Ji was very clear about Liu Xiu's plan, which was that if the Qin army attacked Nanjun, he hoped that the Shu army would send troops from Bajun to support the Chu army.
Liu Ji wanted to unify Yizhou. Before unifying Yizhou, he was not interested in external affairs, so he was ready to refuse Liu Xiu's request for an alliance. However, military advisor Chen Ping advised him not to refuse yet. In addition, if the Qin army If Nanjun is captured, Bajun will also face the threat of the Qin army.
Under Chen Ping's persuasion, Liu Jisuo did not agree to an alliance with Liu Xiu, but he did not refuse either. He planned to see the war situation between the Qin and Chu armies before deciding whether to send troops to help the Chu army against the Qin army.
The final result was beyond Liu Ji's expectations. The Nanjun fortress that Liu Xiu had worked so hard to build could not hold on for even half a year under the fierce attack of Yue Fei who was well prepared, and it would be unable to hold on in less than two months. .
After much discussion with his subordinates, Liu Ji decided to send Bajun soldiers and horses to Nanjun to support Liu Xiu. After all, he still had the courage to do so, and he did not want to be surrounded by Liu Yu, Li Shimin and Qin Hao;
Liu Ji ordered his general Cao Shen to lead a total of 40,000 troops, including Fan Kuai, Kuafu and other generals. They passed through Baidi City, Xiawu Gorge and Yiling, preparing to go to Jiangling to support Deng Yu, but they did not want the Shu army. Before they even arrived, Jiangling City had already been breached by Yue Fei.
Jiangling City has been breached and it is impossible to recapture it. Cao Shen can only try his best to protect Deng Yu's remaining army.
Seeing that the Qin army was chasing the remaining Chu army, Cao Shen, who was leading the way, immediately ordered to stop the Qin army, and the first fierce battle broke out between Qin and Shu.
"Mr. Deng Yu, retreat quickly. Our Shu army will block this place for you first." Cao Shen cupped his fists and shouted;
Deng Yu, who had narrowly escaped death, had eyes full of gratitude. He cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you very much."
After saying this, Deng Yu immediately loudly ordered: "Retreat, quickly retreat to Zhijiang County."
Zhijiang County, the southernmost county of Nanjun, is close to the Yangtze River ferry. It is the last territory of the Chu army in northern Jingzhou, and it is also the only way to retreat to southern Jingang.
As long as Zhijiang County does not fall, the Chu army will still have a foothold in northern Jing. Naturally, it can advance, attack, retreat or defend.
The Shu army was well-equipped and well-trained. Although its number was smaller than that of the Qin army, its combat power was not inferior to that of the Qin army because of its ease of waiting for work.
The Qin army had been pursuing for so long, and the soldiers' physical strength was exhausted. Although there were more people than the Shu army, it was difficult to win for a while.
With the Shu army blocking them in front, the Qin army could not pursue them and could only watch the 15,000 Chu troops escape. This made both Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong furious.
"Hey..."
Yuchi Gong pointed the steel whip at Cao Shen and cursed angrily: "Cao Shen, how dare you harbor rebellion? Your King of Shu, do you want to rebel?"
Cao Shen smiled calmly and said calmly: "General Yuchi said something serious. The Marquis of Chu, Liu Xiunai, is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. How could you be a traitor to the Chu army? As for whether my King of Shu rebelled, that's not for you to say. Forget it."
"I'm really angry with my strong words. Cao Shen, do you dare to fight to the death with me?"
After saying that, Yuchi Gong didn't care whether Cao Shen agreed or not, he whipped his whip and rushed towards the hillside where Cao Shen was.
[Ding dong, Yuchi Gong’s skill ‘Whip God’ is activated, force +4, basic force 100, equipment +2, current force increased to 106; ]
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, in the battle against Dong, teamed up against Li Yuanba but were almost killed. At that time, their basic strength was 98 and 99 respectively;
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong spent more than half a year recovering from their injuries. After two years of hard training, both of them improved their basic strength by 1 point. Now their basic strength has reached 99 and 100 respectively;
Although Yuchi Gong was single-handed, he could not stop a thousand troops. He quickly broke through many obstacles and reached not far in front of Cao Shen, while Cao Shen raised his bow and arrow high;
[Ding dong, Cao Shen's skill 'Arrow General' is activated, and his force +2.

nail……
Cao Shen shot an arrow, but it was easily blocked by Yuchi Gong. After feeling the strength of the arrow, Yuchi Gong almost understood Cao Shen's strength.
"Suffer death."
Yuchi Gong laughed loudly and hit Cao Shen with the black iron whip in his hand. Although he did not use any moves, he was confident that Cao Shen would never be able to block this whip.
What Yuchi Gong didn't expect was that when his steel whip was about to hit Cao Shen, Cao Shen actually laughed, which gave Yuchi Gong an inexplicable bad feeling.
[Ding dong, Kua Fu’s skill ‘Chasing the Sun’ is activated.

[Ding dong, Kuafu's skill 'Chasing the Sun' is activated, force +5, basic force 105, iron rod +1, current force increased to 111; ]
Just when Cao Shen was about to fall under Yuchi Gong's whip, a burly man with an ordinary appearance was running towards Cao Shen quickly with a stick. Although he did not ride a horse, his speed was faster than most war horses, even Qin Qiong. I also know that I can see a phantom flashing past.
"Old Hei, be careful." Qin Qiong shouted anxiously.
Yuchi Gong heard Qin Qiong's voice, but had no time to react. At this moment, a thick iron rod came across the sky and met Yuchi Gong's steel whip.
The sticks and whips collided, making a sharp metal collision sound.
boom……
The huge reaction force hit Yuchi Gong, who couldn't help but frown. This blow alone numbed his arm. However, Kuafu's expression did not change and he continued to hit Yuchi Gong with a backhand stick;
[Ding dong, Kua Fu’s skill ‘Stick God’ is activated, the force is +4, and the current force is increased to 114;]
