Historically, it was also the Cao and Sun families who attacked Jingzhou. Sun Quan broke through Jiangxia and killed Huang Zu to avenge his father, and then Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou in July, Liu Biao died of illness in August, and Liu Cong surrendered Jingzhou in September. It can be said that the huge Jingzhou Group collapsed immediately after turning the palm of its hand. During this period, there was the reason for Liu Biao's illness and death, and more because Jingzhou Wenwu was frustrated and dared not resist.

If you open the map of the Han Dynasty and take a look at the distribution map of the various forces, you can find that in addition to Liu Bei, Liu Biao's territory is the largest. And the civil and military lineup under Liu Biao is also very luxurious, but it is a pity that Liu Biao at this time has long been without enterprising spirit, and the spirit of riding into Xiangyang alone is no longer there, and many years of comfortable life have made him degenerate into a dog guarding the household. Even if it is a thousand miles of fertile fields in Jingzhou and 100,000 armor, there are still countless talents who are useless. But he is still timid in the face of the enemy. It's a shame.

Cao Cao led troops south to Deluyang, and Cao Ren went out of the city to greet him. After entering the city, Cao Cao asked: "Zixiao, who is the Nanyang guard now?" ”

Cao Ren said: "Returning to the lord, the people who guard Wancheng are Jingzhou generals Wen Ping and Liu Panye." ”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Although they are brave, how can they stop our army." Who of the generals is willing to take Wancheng for me? ”

Suddenly, a group of people at the bottom of the stairs snatched it out, hugged their fists and said: "Lord, the last general is willing to go!" ”

Cao Cao saw that the generals were competing for the first place, and his morale was available, so he couldn't help laughing, so he ordered Cao Hong and Yu Ban to be the vanguard and attack Wan County. Cao Zhen and Li Dian plundered the counties of Nanyang, and they led the army to slow down. He also left Cao Ren to return to Luyang to transport grain and grass.

Wen Ping and Liu Pan were in Wancheng, and when they heard that Cao Jun was coming, they discussed: "Cao Cao is coming south, and his momentum is huge. It's really unstoppable, I only stick to Wancheng now, and order the counties to close the city and defend it, first consume its food, wait for its army to be tired, and then attack it with elites. It must be retreated. ”

The plan has been decided, so he ordered Nanyang counties to strengthen the city defense and close the city to defend it. You are not allowed to go out of the city to meet the battle without an order. The counties obeyed the order and closed the city to defend themselves. Cao Hong and Yu Ban came all the way to Wancheng, and after breaking the pheasant county, they arrived at Bowang. Cao Hong went out of the ranks, marched to the city, looked at the city and shouted: "The army has arrived, why not descend quickly, and the whole people will care?" ”

When a young general in the city saw it, he flashed out and scolded: "The husband offended my Jingzhou for no reason, and no one cares about bullying my Jingzhou?" As he spoke, he took off his bow and aimed at Cao Hong and fired a arrow.

Cao Hong was listening to what the young general said, and suddenly saw his voice falling, so he sent a arrow, and couldn't help but startle, Fang turned the horse's head, and realized that he was still out of range.

The young general saw that Cao Hong was so frightened by his own arrow that he wanted to leave, and couldn't help but sneer: "You dare to come to Tuwu Jingzhou without guts?" ”

Cao Hong was so angry that his face was red, he didn't know how much he had experienced in the bloody battle of life and death since he followed Cao Cao, but he was humiliated by a nameless junior here, he shouted: "You that child, dare to report your name!" ”

When the young general heard this, he laughed a few times, and said: "If your grandfather doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, and Huo Zhongmiao of Nanjun is also!" ”

Cao Hong listened, and scolded with a halberd: "Xiao'er, I swear to kill you!" After speaking, he didn't talk nonsense, turned his horse back to the camp, and said to the forbidden: "Wen Ze, prepare to attack the city!" ”

Huo Jun, whose name is Zhong Miao, is a native of Zhijiang in Nanjun. In the previous Jingzhou turmoil, Liu Biao recruited troops, and his brother Huo Du gathered hundreds of people in the township to vote, and was ordered by Liu Biao to be Sima of other departments, from Liu Pan and Wen Pingnan, and died in the battle. Liu Biao then ordered Huo Jun to succeed his brother's department, and still returned to the Wenzhi Festival. This time, he came to Nanyang with Wen Ping to fight Cao Jun together. Because Bowang is the gateway to Wancheng, Huo Jun is divided into towns.

After Cao's army set up camp, he went around cutting down trees and digging up earth and rocks for the siege of the city. Huo Jun saw it in the city, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he opened the city gate and led his troops to intercept and kill Cao Jun. When Cao Hong saw this, he was furious and led his troops to fight. Huo Jun saw Cao Hong's troops coming out from afar, so he turned around and led the army away. Also into the city.

Back and forth several times, Cao Hong was so angry that he shouted, although Huo Jun's move had no effect, and he didn't kill a few of his own people, but he undoubtedly dragged down the progress of his troops. So he came up with a plan, and said to the forbidden road: "Wen Ze, you pretend to be a small colonel, lead the troops out of the camp, if the child returns, I will go out of the camp to intercept the back road, and Wen will lead the army to attack it." ”

Yu Ban listened, so from his words, changed his armor, and took a group of people to cut wood, Huo Jun returned to the city, halfway through, saw that Cao Ying did not move for a long time, he had doubts in his heart, thinking that his army would not come out, it must be a fraud, and as soon as he thought of this, he led the army back to the city. Yu Ban saw that Huo Jun wanted to leave, where was he willing to let go, shouted, and patted the horse to chase after him. Huo Jun saw that he would chase after him in the future, and knew the plan, but he didn't fight with him, so he hurriedly led the army away. In the middle of the line, suddenly the door of Cao's military camp opened, and Cao Hong led the iron horse to roll over, shouting: "Huo Xiao'er, where to go!" ”

Seeing this, Huo Jun left in formation, but he personally broke off. Yu Ban had few soldiers and could not break through Huo Jun's army formation, but when Cao Hong came, he could only see Huo Jun retreat into the city.

Yu Ban sighed: "This person is very knowledgeable, but I don't know when such a person came out of Jingzhou?" ”

Cao Hong said angrily: "No matter who he is, Bowang City will be broken!" "If you don't break Bowang, how can you attack Wancheng? I haven't seen Huo Jun's methods, but I know his ability at this time, if I abandon Bowang and go straight to Wancheng, I am afraid that my back road will be copied in an instant.

So Cao Hong and Yu Ban cheered up, slowly collected supplies, and then began to attack the city. Huo Jun's force value is not high, but when it comes to defense, he is the leading general at the end of the Han Dynasty. In history, he was ordered by Liu Bei to defend Jiameng City with hundreds of people, and resisted the attack of more than 10,000 people by Liu Zhang's troops for more than a year. In the end, the Yizhou army was exhausted, and he led the army out of the city to wait for the opportunity to break it, and beheaded the enemy's head and returned.

Although he is still a little immature, under the attack of Cao Hong and Yu Ban, Bo Wang has not been messed up at all, and he has faintly revealed the demeanor of a famous general.

The battle for a few days, the city is not dialed, Cao Hong is furious, the heart of the Lord of the Lord I attack Wancheng, now near the Wan realm, but by this nameless man blocked in Bowang, if you can't win, how to have the face to return to the camp. Thinking of laughing for the generals, Cao Hong's heart was even more angry, so he came to find Yu Ban and said: "Wen Ze, I should attack it in person, and you will be my commander after you stay." ”

Yu Ban was taken aback when he heard that Cao Hong was going into battle shirtless, where did he dare to let Cao Hong go into battle to attack the city in person. Cao Hong is the younger brother of the lord, and the relationship has always been close, if there is anything wrong here, how can he treat the lord. Then he persuaded: "How can there be a reason for Zilian to go in person, if you go, it should be me." ”

Cao Hong was anxious, so he said: "Wen Ze commands Shengwu, and Wu Yongwu wins Wen Ze." I have made up my mind, and I have to fight again! ”

Yu Ban listened to it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Fortunately, he also knew that Cao Hong was an impatient person, and he didn't hide his mouth. So don't blame him. Seeing that he had made up his mind, he said: "Zilian still has to be careful, if you don't see it right, please retreat quickly!" ”

Cao Hong smiled: "Wen Ze but relax, I am not the pedantic person. ”

The next day, as the morning dawned, the trumpets began to sound. After eating, Cao Jun was clothed in the sun, walked in square steps, and under the leadership of Cao Hong, shouted to Bowang City to kill the generals.
