After resting for a while in Runan County, Liu Qi led his army to advance northward.

The two sides confronted each other in the wilderness thirty miles east of the city of Zheqiu.

Gao Shun's army was 80,000, Liu Qi and Zhong Xuan's army were 170,000, and they built a village and camped and secretly tested each other.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

The garrison of the Gao Shun army.

The sentries patrolling back and forth held long soldiers, with serious expressions, and a pair of eyes patrolled vigilantly left and right, inside and outside the entire barracks, the deployment was so strict that not to mention the enemy's meticulous work, even a fly did not want to get in.

The two sides are at war, and the most taboo is the leakage of military information.

People who are familiar with Gao Shun know that Gao Shun acts calmly and seriously, never makes mistakes of underestimating the enemy and carelessness, and is almost meticulous in his examination and measurement of things, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is as careful as dust.

Gao Shun is upright and majestic, he doesn't like to drink and laugh, and whenever he looks at the map, it is like being engrossed in painting, and the whole person can remain motionless for a long time.

Therefore, many well-known generals under Lu Bu like to jokingly call him 'Gao Mutou'. But even so, Gao Shun was deeply loved by the soldiers in the army.

Gao Shun is in power, naturally it is inevitable that some villains are jealous, and some people even slander Lu Bu in private, saying that Gao Shun's military power is too heavy, if you have different intentions, it will be a big disaster, please be cautious and prevent it.

Lu Bu laughed at this.

In the coach's tent, Gao Shun, who was wearing a general's armor, sat upright, his eyes were bright, the two lying eyebrows above his eyes were slightly outward, and the expression on his face was focused. The light from the top of the tent fell on his face, outlining his resolute silhouette with sharp edges, exuding a masculine and steady general momentum.

A few days ago, good news came one after another, first Liyi defeated Yan Liang, the general of the Yuan army, in Dongjun, and then his son-in-law Ma Chao killed Liang Gang, the pioneer of the Yuan Shu army, in Shansang, forcing the Yuan Shu army back several miles......

And Zhang Liao, who was originally guarding Fuling, also divided most of the soldiers and horses, advanced to the southwest of Yuzhou, and swept through the counties and townships with an invincible momentum along the way, until Kunyang, ready to cooperate with Zhang Lu, who sent troops from Guanzhong, and Zhang Xiu, who marched from the direction of Nanyang, annihilated at the border of his old nest in one fell swoop.

Several other armies are working hard to kill the enemy and make meritorious achievements, but only Gao Shun does not move.

He and the Jingzhou army have been confronted for more than half a month, these days, the two sides have had several tentative confrontations, each time it is to the point of stopping, no one has shown the hole card, but the more so, the more tense the situation in the south, even the air is filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, a touch of explosion.

Retracting his gaze from the map, Gao Shun's eyes were deep, what was the idea of the Jingzhou army, he knew in his heart that he wanted to kill him firmly here and prevent him from returning to Yanzhou.

Although the vanguard army of the two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, was defeated, this was only the beginning, and when their main army pressed in, it was the beginning of the real war.

Therefore, Gao Shun had to deal with the Jingzhou Army and Runan Army in the south as soon as possible, and then send reinforcements to other roads to relieve the pressure on their line, so as to win more time for the frontal battlefield of the Lord.

However, what is depressing is that although Liu Qi, who was in command of the Jingzhou Army, was the main battle, his entourage joined the army Kuai Yue insisted on taking the route of attrition. This person is not only from a prestigious family, but also a very resourceful and virtuous person under Liu Biao, and Liu Qi also relies on him a lot, so he listened to Kuai Yue's strategy.

You have to think of a way to lure the Jingzhou army to take the initiative.

Gao Shun rubbed his forehead and thought about it again.

"General, something is wrong!"

At this time, a general broke into the outside, with a big body and a thick waist, it was Pan Feng, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry.

Gao Shun glanced at Pan Feng with a slight reproach, and the latter immediately realized that his behavior was too reckless, so he withdrew from the tent and said loudly outside: "General, the last general Pan Feng, I have something to see!" ”

Gao Shun said, 'Come in', and Pan Feng walked in in a formal manner.

"General, I just received a battle report that General Zhang Liao was ambushed by Zhang Xiu south of Kunyang, and suffered huge casualties. After Kunyang was broken, he led the remnants of his troops and retreated in the direction of Fuling. Pan Feng's expression was particularly solemn.

What the!

Hearing this news, Gao Shun's eyes were suppressed, and his heart sank.

Zhang Liao's ability to command the army is undoubted, he was born in the general's door, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, not only skilled in bows and horses, but also in the arrangement of troops, and he is the next generation of generals who are highly expected by the lord Lu Bu.

However, Zhang Liao was actually defeated, and he was defeated so quickly that people had no time to react.

This result surprised everyone, including Gao Shun.

Among the many princes who crusaded against Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu had the least soldiers and horses, only 30,000 people, and Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, who were often 100,000 and 200,000 soldiers and horses, were not at the same level at all.

However, such a guy who hid in Nanyang and had no good reputation actually defeated Zhang Liao!

Gao Shun frowned, according to the intelligence of the secret spy of the School Affairs Department, after Dong Zhuo's death in the past, Zhang Ji led troops into Jingzhou, fought with Liu Biao, and died in the middle of the arrow. Zhang Ji had no children under his knees, and his nephew Zhang Xiu inherited Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses and became the new ruler. Later, Liu Biao sent people to lure, and after the negotiation was successful, he lent Nanyang to Zhang Xiu to live in, and also used Zhang Xiu to defend against foreign enemies in the north of Jingzhou.

However, regarding Zhang Xiu's information, in addition to Yongmeng, the school affairs department has not given other effective information.

If he just rushed into battle bravely, he would definitely not beat Zhang Liao into such a down-and-out appearance.

"What about the messenger?"

Gao Shun came back to his senses and asked Pan Feng.

"It's right outside the tent."

"Call him in, I'll have something to ask him."

Pan Feng nodded, raised his voice and shouted, 'Come in', and a haggard soldier walked in outside the tent, covered in a lot of dust and mud, obviously after many days of running and working.

"The villain meets General Gao." Despite his physical and mental exhaustion, the soldiers did not forget to clasp their fists in salute.

Gao Shun asked him to sit down and talk, and then asked: "Tell me everything you know about the ambush." ”

The soldier said 'yes,' recalling the ambush a few days earlier.

At that time, Zhang Liao first received a letter from Zhang Lu, the commander of Hanzhong County, saying that he had attacked Wancheng, the base camp behind Zhang Xiu, and asked Zhang Liao to delay Zhang Xiu in front for a few days, and when he destroyed the old nest, he would attack back and forth, and destroy Zhang Xiu's forces in one fell swoop.

Later, Zhang Xiu seemed to have learned the news and hurriedly led the army to retreat. After Zhang Liao thought about it, he divided a part of the soldiers and horses to garrison Kunyang, just in case, but he fell for Zhang Xiujun's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, lost Kunyang, and was led into a dead valley by Zhang Xiu.

In the fierce battle, Zhang Liao was shot in the chest, and then the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand was picked in the right shoulder.
