Jiangling.
In the lobby of the government office.
All the generals and staff gathered together.
Liu Chan sat on the main seat with a calm face. Just from the expression on his face, it was impossible to see the change in his emotions.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent report from Wancheng. What should we do now?"
Liu Chan's calmness obviously infected all the officials in the hall.
Fei Yi stood up to speak without any panic on his face.
"I previously ordered Yang Ben to lead the 10,000 Wudang flying army. Now I think it's time to rescue the former general."
Now when we send troops to Yingchuan, it will be at least ten days later.
Distant water cannot cure near thirst.
The only thing you can really rely on is Yang Ben's 10,000 useless flying army.
If these 10,000 people can buy Liu Chan time, and the follow-up troops can keep up, they can naturally keep Guan Yu safe.
If Yang Ben couldn't buy time for the army, it would be too late to send troops there now.
can only say...
Guan Yu's gift was a bit thorough.
He had 20,000 to 30,000 people, and he actually gave them all away in a short period of time.
These two to thirty thousand people are veterans who have been with Guan Yu for many years!
It can be said to be elite.
Now Liu Chan finally feels like Cao Cao did.
Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Wenpin...
After being defeated again and again, Cao Thief felt in his heart that this was probably what he was feeling now.
"Your Highness, there is not enough food and grass in Jingzhou, and the arrangements for farming have already been made. If we want to send all the soldiers from Jiangling there, we may not have enough food and grass, and we may not be able to recruit all the local brave men."
In the past month or so, Jingzhou has experienced too many battles.
It can be said that Jingzhou is now reduced to a pot of porridge.
The nine counties in Jingxiang, except Guiyang County, were all baptized by the flames of war.
The number of people who died during this period is countless.
The people's strength is declining, but if we send out troops to fight, who will take care of the logistics?
Who will deliver food and grass?
It's okay to suffer the people once, but if you keep suffering the people of Jingzhou, I'm afraid that if Hou Yinwei starts an uprising, it will happen again in Jingzhou.
Liu Chan had just held sacrifices in the suburbs and cultivated the fields himself. The people he had accumulated with great effort were in the hearts of the people, so he could not lose them all.
Besides...
Sun Quan from Jiangdong was waiting around. If Jiangling was empty, with the temper of the rats from Jiangdong, they might come to sneak attack again.
"There is not enough food and grass, and there are not enough brave people in the countryside. We will send out troops this time. The number of troops is 20,000. Select the best from the army and send troops to attack Wei!"
Soldiers are more skilled than many.
Moreover, Wancheng cannot support much military support.
Still the same sentence.
If the logistics is not good, the national strength is not good, and the war is not good!
Now that Liu Chan is able to send troops, he still has to thank Sun Quan for the food and grass he sent.
But after this peace negotiation, Jiangdong's food and grass may not be delivered so quickly.
As for the reason, it's very simple.
The landlord's family has no food left.
Sun Quan first sent Liu Chan 750,000 stones of grain and grass, and then raised an army of 100,000 to fight from Hefei to Jiangling. The consumption of the 100,000 troops along the way also consumed almost all of his stockpile of grain.
It will take at least next year to deliver grain and grass.
Food and grass cannot be conjured out of thin air.
At this time, Liu Chan deeply felt the strength gap with Wei.
This gap in strength is not a gap in military strength.
The military strength of the Shu Han Dynasty is not much worse than that of the Wei Kingdom, but the logistics and supplies cannot keep up!
"Is an army of 20,000 people too small? Even the Wudang Feijun has more than 20,000 people."
Zhang Bao frowned and said.
When he and Guan Xing came from Nanzhong, they brought with them some of the Nanzhong barbarians. In addition to the original 50,000 useless flying troops, they could bring at least 50,000 people to Wancheng.
I'm afraid it would be difficult to reverse the situation if we bring 20,000 people there?
What if we lose because of insufficient troops?
"If you don't have enough food and grass, you just need to collect it. Jingzhou is a blessed land. Although it has experienced wars for a long time, the poor people have no food in their homes, but the wealthy and gentry's homes always have it, right?"
Good guy!
They are directly coming to fight against the local tyrants to divide their land.
However...
Liu Chan just shook his head.
"Twenty thousand people are enough."
The wealthy gentry in Jingzhou are almost all nobles.
You raided the homes of nobles in Jingzhou and you still want them to serve you?
In this era when knowledge was monopolized by the gentry, there were almost no poor families.
Ninety percent of the officials in various counties were from the gentry.
Are you telling me now that you want to collect their food and grass?
If this is really the case, then yesterday he went to the suburbs to offer sacrifices and today he went to plow the fields, all of which were in vain.
Cao Cao didn't even need to send troops, Jingzhou immediately broke into chaos, and everyone ran to defect to Cao Cao.
The powerful gentry clan is indeed a hidden danger, but now Liu Chan is not strong enough and needs to rely on the power of the gentry clan.
Dealing with your own base?
Isn't that equivalent to stabbing oneself in the chest?
This is absolutely impossible!
"this..."
Seeing that Liu Chan had made up his mind, Zhang Bao had no choice but to retreat.
"Everything in Jiangling should be done step by step. Don't worry about the war in the north."
Do whatever you have to do.
The top priority is to restore production in Jingzhou.
As long as there is food in hand and the support of the people in Jingzhou, what does Cao Mengde mean?
What does Sun Zhongmou, a rat from Jiangdong, count for?
Of course Pang Tong understood what Liu Chan meant.
Everything is as it is, but the premise is that the north can win.
Even if we cannot win, we must keep Wancheng and Nanyang.
Otherwise, Jingzhou may not be preserved. What kind of Jingzhou can be built?
It may be devastated by war at any time, and the fields you have cultivated will also be destroyed.
Just useless work.
"The affairs of Jiangling will be left to your Majesty. Your Highness can rest assured and go to the north to attack Wei."
Liu Chan nodded slightly.
With this good strategist here, Liu Chan will indeed save a lot of energy.
With Pang Tong in charge of Jiangling, Sun Zhongmou would not dare to seek Jingzhou.
"The troops will be sent out tomorrow. As for the arrangements inside and outside Jingzhou, they will be as follows!"
Liu Chan glanced at His Highness's ministers and said, "Where is Ah Hui'nan?"
Hearing Liu Chan call his name, Ah Huinan quickly stepped forward and half-knelt in the hall.
"The general is here!"
"I order you to be the vanguard and lead three thousand cavalry troops to Yingchuan for support!"
Good steel should be used on the blade.
These three thousand cavalry troops can be said to be the wealth of all Liu Chan's cavalry.
There was no other way. The horse-producing areas were all in the north. Liu Chan was able to gather 3,000 cavalry troops, firstly through smuggling through caravans, and secondly through battlefield seizures.
No guns or cannons, the enemy made them for me.
The Wei army was annihilated several times by Liu Chan, and together with the surrendered Wei army, we had a total of 3,000 cavalry, which was no problem.
"promise!"
Ah Huinan took the order immediately!
pioneer!
It’s another opportunity to make a contribution!
During the Battle of Jiangling, Ah Huinan made many contributions, and Liu Chan was generous with his rewards.
Money, silk, beauties, manors and fields are all there.
As for power.
Ah Huinan has become a guest of the prince, and even entered the martial arts hall to teach in the battle formation, and his official position has directly become an unworthy military envoy.
Although Liu Chan had left the Wudang Feijun under his command before.
But there is no written appointment.
Most of them were verbal promises. He, the unworthy head coach of the Flying Army, seemed to be temporary and could be kicked off at any time.
But after making great achievements in Jiangling, he was appointed as an envoy to the flying army.
He, who was never the head coach of the Flying Army, finally lived up to his reputation.
If you can make meritorious deeds again!
snort!
It's no problem to get the position of Lord Pavilion!
When he thought of this, Ah Hui'nan's heart became hot.
He now wanted to rush directly to Yingchuan and chop off the head of Wei King Cao Cao and offer it to Liu Chan.
"As for the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition to Wei, I will personally serve as the logistics and grain officer. Wen Wei, you will be the one."
Being in charge of logistics is also a heavy responsibility.
Fei Yi immediately stood up and accepted the order.
"promise!"
After all the generals were appointed to the positions of joining the army, Sima, and deputy generals, Liu Chan observed the reactions of the generals, and sure enough, some of them couldn't stand it.
"Your Highness, what about me?"
Pang Lingming stood up at this moment, with a look of worry on his face.
When it comes to bravery on the field, he thinks he is not inferior to others.
Yu Jin also had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but he thought of something and did not speak.
"The purpose of going to attack Wei this time is to face Cao Mengde directly. I don't want to make you suffer injustice and be in a dilemma."
That's so.
Pang De was moved. He thought Liu Chan was concerned about his status as a surrendered general!
Not wanting to, but thinking about him.
"Why do you need to worry, Your Highness? Since I serve Your Highness, I have nothing to do with King Wei. Although he is kind to me, it is nothing compared to His Highness's kindness to me. Now everyone is his own master, Your Highness does not have to worry about me. Show mercy!"
After reading the three books Liu Chan gave him in Xiangyang, he was completely enlightened!
In addition, Jiangling won a battle and received a reward. In Pang De's heart, he already knew what he was going to do!
End this chaos!
Let all people in the world live a good life!
This is His Highness's ambition. How could he not help His Highness realize this ambition?
"good!"
Pound's statement made Liu Chan feel quite proud!
Cao Mengde!
When it comes to calming down, I, Mr. Liu, am not far behind you.
"In that case, then Lingming, you can follow me to Wancheng!"
Pang Lingming went to Wancheng.
Should I go then?
Yu Jin opened his mouth. Several times, he wanted to be like Pang De and stand up to ask for orders, but in the end, Cao Cao's weight in his heart was too heavy.
If he is asked to fight against the King of Wei, he...can't do it!
Although he now serves his new master, he still doesn't want to face his old master Cao Mengde.
"Jiangling will be guarded by military advisors."
Liu Chan looked at Pang Tong.
The latter nodded and agreed.
Fei Yi was in charge of the logistics of the army, while Pang Tong was in charge of the logistics of the entire Jingzhou. His position was extremely important!
"Your Majesty."
Liu Chan looked at Yu Jin.
"Xiakou is an important town, so the prince is in charge. If the prince is there, Sun Zhongmou will not dare to invade!"
"promise!"
Seeing that Liu Chan was not disturbed by his lack of expression, Yu Jin slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity in his heart.
If Xiakou is not lost, Jingzhou will not be lost!
After holding Xiakou, Sun Quan could only look at the ocean and sigh, helpless.
Putting such an important place in Xiakou in his hands showed that His Highness still trusted him.
His Highness did not feel grudged against him for not attacking the Wei State and deliberately ignored him. How could he not be loyal to such a lord to the death?
"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as I, Yu Wenze, am alive, I can't lose this Xiakou!"
People are in the city!
He was banned because he wanted to live and die with Xiakou!
With Xiakou here, the position of the police is not that important.
Therefore, Liu Chan did not arrange a guard.
After arranging everything in an orderly manner, Liu Chan looked at the ministers in the hall and asked: "I have finished speaking, is there anyone who has any doubts?"
"Your Highness."
Pan Jun stood up at this time and said: "My subordinates may have a solution to the problem of insufficient food and grass."
Because of his great achievements in guarding public security, during the Northern Expedition to Wei, Pan Jun sneaked into the position of Sima in the army.
The position of Sima in the army is not low!
The Sima in the army is in charge of military law and also has the power of staff.
In the military, it can be said to be a high-ranking position.
Now that he can get into this position, his loyalty to Liu Chan has naturally risen to a new level.
Leaders who can give you a promotion are all good leaders and worthy of your loyalty!
"oh?"
Liu Chan looked at Pan Jun and asked, "What's Sima's clever plan?"
He smiled softly and said: "There is no food in the army, but my subordinates know that there are still private food hidden in the hands of powerful people in various places. Your Highness is kind and does not want to take it by force. It is really admirable. However, there is a shortage of food in the army. Still alive, His Highness’ reputation for benevolence is well known to everyone in Jingzhou, so why not borrow grain from those powerful men? You can just pay back some interest at that time, and they must be willing to do so.”
This 'borrowing food' may turn into taking food away in the end.
Not every powerful person is willing to invest in Liu Chan.
If you win on a food investment like this, you can indeed collect some interest.
But what if you lose?
If you lose all your money, you will even be held accountable by Wei State.
Isn't it nice for them to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in the back?
"This method is acceptable, but it needs to be modified a few times."
Pan Jun's starting point is still good.
Liu Chan continued: "Borrowing food is on a voluntary basis. Now I would like to borrow food with interest: nine days out and eleven days back. Those who borrow a lot of food can have their children join the prince's personal army as personal guards. The one who borrows the most food will Give me the Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book to avoid death once!"
Since they wanted to borrow food, they naturally had to take the initiative.
I, Mr. Liu, never force others.
That's why...
The benefits of borrowing food will naturally be given.
Interest for you!
Nine out and eleven back.
This interest rate is not small.
Those who borrow a lot of food can join the prince's personal army, which is a good way to enter the official career.
It is not impossible for those who are capable to become prosperous in the future.
There is also an iron coupon from the Alchemy Book, which can directly avoid death!
This is directly a set of combo punches.
With this set of boxing techniques, the problem of food shortage in the army can be solved immediately.
"Your Highness, is the benefit of borrowing food too much?" Fei Yi frowned slightly.
Nine out and eleven out, the interest rate is already very high.
It is an even greater honor to join the prince's personal army.
The most exaggerated thing is this iron book of alchemy?
How much of a temptation would it be for those powerful families to avoid death once?
Pang Tong also said from the side: "The interest earned from nine outings and eleven returns is enough. In addition, with the honor of joining the prince's personal army, there must be no problem in raising food. This iron coupon of the elixir book has the ability to avoid death." , doesn’t this mean condoning perversion of the law?”
Liu Chan laughed and said: "The one who borrows the most grain will get the iron coupons of the alchemy book. The amount of the borrowed grain will not be announced. With the iron coupons of the alchemy book as bait, those powerful people who have stored grain will definitely lend it out. In this way If so, we will have no worries about food and supplies in the short term. As for the iron book of elixirs, he can only avoid death, but not sin."
Alchemy is an iron ticket.
To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of iron paper.
In later generations, the so-called iron coupons of alchemy books were more like reminders of death.
I was destined to take him, but was I destined to enjoy it?
If he didn't use this to stimulate Jingzhou's tyranny and force them to pop rice, how could Liu Gongsi let them go?
As for the subsequent borrowed food and grass, will it be returned?
Next year, the grain and grass stipulated in Sun Quan's peace treaty will be delivered, and it will be more than enough to repay the borrowed grain and grass.
Besides...
Next year, if Jingzhou and Nanzhong are successful in farming, will Liu Chan still be short of food?
What a joke!
"Just send out the decree."
"promise!"
Pang Tong thought about it and felt it made sense, so he stopped worrying about it.
After the business in the government office hall was finished, Liu Chan went to the backyard of the county governor's house.
As soon as they entered the backyard, a chilling air came into view.
Guan Yinping was wearing thick armor, and the metallic luster shone in the sunlight. The armor fit her body tightly and fit perfectly, showing off her strong and well-proportioned figure.
At this time, her face was handsome and stern, her eyes were like stars, and her long hair was tied into a simple and orderly ponytail, swaying gently with her movements.
Wearing a battle robe and holding a spear in his hand, he was as powerful as a rainbow and full of murderous intent.
Seeing Liu Chan coming, Guan Yinping stopped the dancing spear.
At this moment, she looked at Liu Chan, her eyes no longer full of charm.
"Your Highness, when will we send out troops?"
Today's screen is different from the past.
That feeling of being a little woman is gone now.
It was as if Liu Gongsi saw Guan Yinping for the first time.
Such a sharp-edged person, such a person should not be allowed in by strangers.
As for the reason...
Liu Chan naturally knew.
Guan Yu was surrounded. As a daughter, how could Guan Yinping not be anxious?
"tomorrow."
Guan Yinping nodded heavily.
"I want to go to this battle and save Grandpa!"
"rest assured."
Liu Chan stepped forward and took her hand.
"With me here, my father-in-law will have nothing to worry about."
Guan Yinping nodded slightly, but the worry in his eyes did not dissipate much.
Liu Chan knew in his heart that unless he really rescued Guan Yu, Guan Yinping's worry would not dissipate.
Hey~
Liu Chan patted the back of Guan Yinping's hand and said, "Come with me to Wancheng tomorrow."
"good!"
Guan Yinping's answer was very concise.
"Take off your armor and go. Rest early today. We will set out early tomorrow morning. We have to march in a hurry again. We must take good care of ourselves."
Guan Yinping nodded heavily.
"Listen to Mr. Lang!"
It was night, and the beauty was in his arms, but neither of them made any move. They really hugged each other and slept all night.
The next day.
The army rises!
To the north of Jiangling City, with banners covering the fields and forests of swords and halberds, Liu Chan led his army toward Wancheng.
As for the vanguard cavalry, Ah Hui Nan, galloped towards Yingchuan as early as night.
...
Yingchuan.
Outside the city of Ye County, the flames of war spread, and the sound of war drums shook the sky and the earth. The Wei army attacked the city wall like a violent wind, while the Jingzhou soldiers stood firm at the top of the city, struggling to withstand the enemy's fierce offensive.
Arrows were flying in the air, and the city walls were covered with crossbowmen. They steadily pulled the strings and fired, pouring down sharp arrows.
Arrows rained down like a torrential rain, and the sharp arrows penetrated the air and shot into the enemy's formation, causing huge casualties.
"Those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
Those who came to attack the city were mostly miscellaneous soldiers. They came forward now to consume the siege equipment in the city.
Behind the siege soldiers, the real elite Wei army was cruising in the rear. Once they saw any siege soldiers who dared to retreat, they would kill them with their swords.
Cao Cao has already given a death order!
We must destroy Ye County and capture Guan Yunchang!
"Hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"
Zong Ziqing took the lead and shouted loudly from the top of the city. At this moment, he was already a bloody man, but under the blood stain, his eyes were shining!
Defend Ye County!
Just protect your future!
No matter how many Wei troops rush to the city wall, they must be driven back!
If my eldest son, Ziqing, can defend Ye County for ten days, he can defend it for another ten days!
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
...
The Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall fought bravely. They were armed with spears and knives and rushed towards the Wei army without fear. The sword light flashed, the sword shadows intertwined, and the fierce close combat filled the entire battlefield with a thick smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.
The Wei army's attack on the city was obviously well prepared.
Siege engines, ladders and other siege equipment were pushed towards the city wall and violently collided with the city defense. The sound of splintering wood and the sound of metal clashing intertwined. The fortifications on the city wall were destroyed, and the Wei army began to gradually infiltrate into the city.
The fighting in the city was even more fierce, with fires burning, houses collapsed, and corpses piled up. The soldiers fought hard and raced against time to protect every inch of the land. The battlefield was filled with shouts, screams and screams of death.
The city of Ye County is in danger, and the city walls are crumbling. Both sides have paid a huge price. The number of casualties continues to rise. The battlefield is full of blood and limbs are flying everywhere.
"drink!"
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and he didn't know how many times he slashed it.
My hands are sore and my vision is starting to blur.
tired!
After guarding the city for many days, every day was a high-intensity attack on the enemy. Even though Guan Yu was one of the most powerful generals in the world, his old body could not bear it anymore.
Enter...
They were all Wei soldiers who rushed into the city.
Is it possible that Ye County will be lost today?
Sudden!
Suddenly, there was a loud shout of killing outside the city. It was obvious that the Wei army that rushed into the city was powerless.
"Reinforcements, His Highness's reinforcements are coming!"
"Your Highness is here to save us!"
"Kill him, charge!"
...
As soon as they heard that the reinforcements were coming and His Highness came, the soldiers' hearts suddenly burst with great courage.
The fatigue of guarding the city for many days seemed to be gone.
victory!
Victory is at hand!
Even Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword with a lot of strength.
Puff puff puff~
After a few sword blows, several more soldiers died at the hands of Guan Yunchang.
The generals in the city used their strength together and actually drove back all the Wei troops in the city.
"Are Wancheng reinforcements coming?"
Guan Yu and Zong Ziqing were a little disappointed when they saw that the people coming were barbarians, and there was no Liu Chan banner among them.
"The last general, Yang Ben, pays homage to the Lord."
Phew~
Guan Yu took a breath and asked, "Where is His Highness? He's not here?"
Yang Ben said on the side: "Your Highness sent me here before the prince fell into a tight siege. The news has been sent for many days. I believe your highness will arrive here soon."
It seems that His Highness had expected it!
Alas~
Guan Yu sighed in his heart.
"How many men and horses do you have?"
"We brought six thousand people here. This time we charged into the formation, and there were less than three thousand people left."
Six thousand people rushed into the formation and turned into three thousand?
The casualties are simply horrific!
Guan Yu originally saw that Ye County could not be defended, and staying here would be tantamount to waiting for death.
Seeing that Yang Ben's reinforcements were able to rush into the formation, they might not be able to break out of the siege in the city.
As long as we can return to Nanyang, the situation can be stabilized!
But now when he heard about the casualties in the charge, Guan Yu suddenly stopped thinking about breaking out.
They defended the city for many days, but their army was exhausted.
Breaking out rashly, how is that different from risking one's life?
"Your Majesty, the enemy has retreated. We should take this opportunity to repair the city and bring up all the useful things in the city."
Defend the city!
Now Zong Ziqing only has these two words in his mind!
Your Highness's reinforcements have arrived.
Is it still far away from Your Highness?
As long as His Highness arrives, everything will be fine!
...
not far away.
On the high hill outside Ye County City, there is a guard of honor for the King of Wei standing among them.
Under the huge banner of King Wei, a haggard old man was kneeling.
If it’s not Meng De, who is it?
Cao Cao frowned.
"Cough cough cough."
He coughed, and his head felt like it was stabbed by thousands of needles, with a look of agony on his face.
His body was convulsing continuously.
"Medicine, medicine!"
The waiter beside him quickly brought over a bowl of pitch-black medicinal soup.
He swallowed the bowl of medicine in one gulp, and the pain in his head was indeed much better.
Although there is still some pain, it is not as unbearable as before.
"What dose of medicine is this?"
The waiter said quickly: "This is the fifth medicine."
Fifth mate?
There are four more pills.
I can still hold on for a few more days.
"Is this the unworthy flying army that Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, brought from Nanzhong?"
On the high hill, Cao Cao had a clear view of the war process below.
Most of the Wudang Feijun were barbarians, wearing straw armor. Judging from their clothing and appearance, they were different from the soldiers of the Central Plains.
"Yes, I heard that the crown prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gongsi, has 50,000 Wudang flying troops. If they are all so elite, they will be a powerful enemy."
Cao Cao nodded, noncommittal.
"He is indeed an elite man who can break through the formation of our army."
Besieging the city of Ye County, military formations were set up outside the city.
This unworthy flying army can rush into the military formation, which shows that it is extraordinary.
"The enemy has the strength to join us. I'm afraid we won't be able to capture Ye County today."
Cao Hong watched from the side, his brows also furrowed.
In fact, a few days ago, there was a chance to capture Ye County, but every time Cao Cao paid for his troops at critical moments, as if he deliberately did not capture Ye County.
"Let's withdraw our troops today by calling for gold."
Cao Cao smiled softly.
He saw the doubtful look on Cao Hong's face and said: "This is a plan to encircle the spot and call for reinforcements. Use Guan Yunchang as bait to lure the big fish to bite the hook. Now a small fish has come over. Wait a few more seconds." Today, I am afraid that the big fish of Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, is coming."
If Guan Yu is killed now, can Wancheng and Nanyang be captured?
Can't take it off!
Using Guan Yu as bait, he attracted Jingzhou soldiers and wiped out all his remaining troops, not to mention Nanyang, but the entire Jingzhou. He, Cao Mengde, could also take advantage of him!
Before this battle, Cao Cao mobilized the military forces that could be mobilized in the four states of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou.
Although the soldiers in the four states are not elite, they number in the hundreds or tens of thousands. Use their lives to waste the lives of your Jingzhou soldiers!
I, Cao Mengde, sit in the Central Plains.
Now that these soldiers are gone, it will take a little time to form another army.
Can you, the land of Jingzhou, summon soldiers in a short period of time?
cannot!
Will the people of Jingzhou throw their lives and blood for you, Mr. Liu?
Revive the Han Dynasty?
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is here with me, Cao Mengde. If he wants to revive the Han Dynasty, he must let me, Cao Mengde, come!
"Just... drag it on until the enemy army arrives, something may change."
If Guan Yunchang doesn't eat it, he might not be able to eat it anymore when Mr. Liu comes over.
But Cao Hong also knew Cao Cao's intentions.
The king knew that time was running out, so he wanted to resolve the issue in Jingzhou once and for all.
hope...
The master's plan can really succeed!
...
Duyang County.
After several days of hurried marching, the 3,000 vanguard cavalry led by Ah Huinan finally arrived at Duyang County.
Duyang County was not captured by the Wei army, but Juancheng further ahead was occupied by the Wei army.
"Send out scouts to investigate the military situation. The rest of the team will wait and dismount and rest!"
Not only people need rest, but war horses also need rest.
Six days of scenery.
From Jiangling to Duyang.
This horse was about to run to death, but it finally caught up.
"How's the situation ahead?"
After supplying supplies in Wancheng yesterday, Ah Huinan drove straight to Duyang. What he was asking about at this moment was naturally the military situation ahead.
The soldiers guarding Duyang County were also Wudangfei soldiers. When they saw their own military envoys, they naturally told everything they knew.
"Yang Ben led six thousand elites into the battle?"
"I heard from the soldiers who escaped and rushed in."
Rushed in?
That proves that Ye County has not been captured yet.
Ah Huinan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I wonder where that thief Cao is?"
Cao thief?
"King Cao Cao of Wei is in the Wei army's stronghold outside Ye County."
Wei Jun's stronghold?
"How far is it from here?"
"Thirty Miles"
Thirty miles?
Ah Huinan measured the time and murmured to himself: "Then if I lead the army to attack, can I fight against Cao's thieves?"
When the city defenders heard what A Hui Nan said, they thought that A Hui Nan was really going to kill Cao Cao!
He quickly said: "General, King Cao Cao of Wei is under heavy protection from the army. His army formation is tight and it is difficult for the cavalry to rush in. In addition, Cao Cao has an elite cavalry under his command, called the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. They are very elite. General If we meet him, we may not be his match."
Tiger and leopard riding?
Ah Huinan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He came out of Nanzhong just to meet this world hero!
Ah Hui Nan naturally wanted to see this tiger and leopard rider.
A strong army in the world?
The best of the best?
snort!
Too many elites have died at the hands of my Ah Hui Nan!
How can you tell the quality without touching it?
Ah Hui Nan smiled arrogantly and said, "What about the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? When he sees this army, let him know how powerful I am, Ah Hui Nan!"
Du Yangshou opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.
General Guan Ping's elite cavalry are no match for him.
General, will the improvised cavalry army in your hands be your opponent?
But seeing that Ah Hui Nan was in high spirits, he couldn't throw cold water on him at this time.
"The general is well rested. Ye County is under siege and needs the general's help."
Ah Huinan nodded slightly.
"I naturally know this."
Ah Huinan rested for half a day in Duyang County.
Early the next morning, he formed a formation outside Duyang City, preparing to go to Ye County to meet with the Wei army.
It would be even better if we could find an opportunity to kill Cao Mengde.
But it is less than ten miles away from Duyang County.
The front was blocked by a cavalry army.
Looking at the size of the cavalry army, it only numbered a thousand people.
Ah Hui Nan snorted coldly and shouted: "Who is coming? I, Ah Hui Nan, will not fight against the unknown!"
Nobody?
Cao Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly.
How can I, Cao Xiu, be a nobody?
Hearing that Ah Hui Nan is a fierce general under the command of Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, today, he is going to kill this fierce general under the command of Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong!
"Hahaha!"
Cao Xiu held the spear in his hand and immediately laughed loudly and said: "Say my name and I will scare you! I am Cao Xiu, the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Today, I am the one who will take your head, Ah Hui Nan!"
Cao Xiu?
Tiger and leopard riding!
Ah Hui licked his dry lips and narrowed his eyes, filled with fighting spirit.
Yesterday I said that I wanted to try out the quality of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
No, I have this opportunity today!
Ah Hui Nan waved the battle ax in his hand and shouted: "Today, I, Ah Hui Nan, will kill you Cao Xiu! What kind of tiger and leopard riding? It's just paper!"
"snort!"
Cao Xiu narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer: "I hope your mouth can still be so tough before you die!"
The three thousand cavalry led by Ah Huinan looked extremely brave, wearing iron armor and holding sharp blades, and they looked fierce.
In contrast, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Xiu were equally majestic and their weapons shone with cold light.
There was no fear in their eyes. On the contrary, before the battle, they were still teasing each other, as if what they were going to face next was not a life and death battle, but just playing house.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, charge!"
"My sons, charge with me!"
The two men issued military orders.
Boom, boom, boom!
The two armies approached quickly on the battlefield, and the hoofbeats of the war horses shook the earth and the dust flew up.
The three thousand cavalry troops under Ah Huinan formed an array and prepared to fight. They were heroic and high-spirited.
The general is right, what kind of tiger and leopard cavalry? What elite?
I'm waiting for you to fight the elite!
Cao Xiu's eyes were sharp, and the tiger and leopard cavalry he led were in tight formation, as powerful as tigers and extremely ferocious.
An army is like a tightly connected machine, and every tiger and leopard cavalryman is an indispensable part of this machine.
When the two armies clashed, swords and swords clashed, horses galloped, and the battlefield was filled with fierce sounds of fighting and screams.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
...
The morale of the cavalry led by Ah Huinan is high!
They just came from Jiangling, and under the leadership of Liu Chan, they won consecutive battles.
Fight bravely and fear no death!
Charge into battle!
Charge into battle!
Scatter this so-called tiger and leopard cavalry!
However, the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu were powerful. They cooperated closely and galloped horizontally, and their offensive was as fierce as a violent storm.
Although the three thousand cavalry resisted bravely, their formation was gradually disrupted by the fierce attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and they were unable to withstand Cao Xiu's fierce attack.
The situation on the battlefield deteriorated rapidly. The three thousand cavalry army led by A Huinan could not withstand the pressure of the tiger and leopard cavalry and gradually collapsed.
How can this be?
Ah Huinan had a look of disbelief on his face.
When the two armies fought, the three thousand cavalry troops under his command basically rushed in at once.
However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had tactics.
The front row of light cavalry formed a circular formation. The team ran around in a circle, and then let a curved surface of the circle face the enemy. They kept running and shooting. Through continuous firepower, before the two sides engaged, they let His cavalry suffered heavy losses.
When his cavalry was approaching the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, its front row of light cavalry suddenly retreated.
After the light cavalry, hundreds of heavy cavalry stood out.
Under the heavy armor, the soldiers under him used their swords, guns, swords and halberds to slash hard at the armor of the tiger and leopard cavalry, unable to even break through the defense.
This is a one-sided massacre!
From the beginning, the skills and tactics of both sides and the equipment level of both sides were not on the same level.
"Ahhh!"
The cavalry was on the verge of disintegration. Ah Huinan roared, and immediately took a giant ax and galloped towards Cao Xiu.
There’s always something to do!
If we can control the decline now, we must capture the thief first and capture the king first!
Let’s kill this kid Cao Xiu first!
Bang bang bang!
The giant ax in Ah Huinan's hand struck at the heavily armored Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers who were blocking the front. Each ax could take away the life of one of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers.
Heavy armor does have excellent defense.
But that also depends on the weapon.
Ah Huinan already had great strength, and when he struck with the giant axe, the huge force was transmitted from the heavy armor to the body of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and his internal organs were shattered in a few blows.
Is there any way to survive?
"Hmph! You're seeking death!"
There was no fear in Cao Xiu's eyes, and he immediately clapped his horse and stepped forward to fight Ah Hui'nan.
With his superb riding skills and marksmanship, Cao Xiu's horse galloped like the wind, and his spear cut through the air with extraordinary power.
And Ah Hui'nan wielded the giant ax with astonishing power. Every blow carried a shocking momentum, and he was boiling with murderous intent, wanting to kill Cao Xiu off his horse.
Their horses galloped across the battlefield, their hooves hitting the ground and raising a cloud of dust. Spears and giant axes intertwined, sparks flew, and every collision brought huge impact.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The two fought for more than ten rounds.
Seeing that Cao Xiu could not be defeated in a short period of time, Ah Huinan already wanted to retreat.
If you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll be surrounded by these tiger and leopard cavalry. By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to.
The key is!
The attack formation of the three thousand vanguard cavalry he led had been broken up by Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard cavalry.
After the formation was broken up, the three thousand cavalry troops collapsed!
escape!
Ah Huinan only had this idea in his mind now.
This Wei general is completely different from the Jiangdong soldiers.
Facing the Jiangdong soldiers, Ah Hui Nan was like a god of war, invincible.
But facing this Wei general, he felt like he was no match for him!
Don’t underestimate the world’s heroes!
Ah Hui Nan underestimated his enemy today!
"ah!"
Ah Huinan shook his giant ax, distanced himself from Cao Xiu, and immediately ran away.
"Where can the barbarian go!"
Cao Xiu didn't expect the duck to fly away, and quickly pursued it.
And this chase!
It’s ten miles away!
It was not until the defenders in Duyang City left the city that Cao Xiu reluctantly withdrew.
snort!
Cao Xiu glanced contemptuously at Ah Hui Nan, who was breathing heavily, and said loudly: "Ah Hui Nan, next time, it's time for you to offer your head."
drive!
Cao Xiuzhi left with great satisfaction, leaving only Ah Huinan who clenched his fists and wanted to bite his teeth into pieces.
Wait!
Ah Huinan's eyes were full of fighting spirit and murderous intent.
Today it’s just me, Ah Hui, who underestimates the enemy.
Today's revenge, today's humiliation, I, Ah Hui Nan, will definitely ask you to take back your capital with interest!
I lost the battle.
Tiger and leopard riding!
A strong army in the world?
snort!
I, Ah Hui Nan, will definitely kill you with my own hands in the future!
Let the tiger and leopard cavalry be removed from the Wei army!
...
"Wancheng is right ahead."
Liu Chan, together with the prince's troops, Jiang Wuyi Cong and other elites, marched in a hurry, leaving the large army behind, and now they arrived at Wancheng first.
He looked at Guan Yinping, who was a little nervous and couldn't sleep well in the past few days, and said with relief: "Ye County has not been conquered yet, and the former general is not in danger."
"Um."
Guan Yinping nodded slightly, his anxious heart finally relieved.
"Your Highness, it's not too late, I'll wait for help to come over!"
"Not urgent."
Liu Chan looked very calm.
"Collect the news and make plans."
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
If you rush in without knowing the situation on the battlefield, is that not to risk your own death?
Liu Chan's eyes flickered.
This time is the first and last confrontation between me, Liu Chan, and Cao Cao!
hehe!
Let me see how much you, the thief, weigh!
...
