With 15,000 men and horses, attacking Xiangyang City, which has 100,000 heavy troops, even if there are tiger generals like Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the chances of winning are very small, but it's not about fighting numbers, but about strategy, outwitting and attacking!

Under the cover of night, after leaving Fancheng, the men and horses did not go straight to Xiangyang City, but galloped west for more than 100 miles, and then turned south, and arrived at the mouth of the old river the next morning!

The old estuary is located in the upper reaches of the Han River, where the river is wide, the water flow is slow, and there are several islands in the middle of the river, which is a good natural ferry!

Xu Shu's plan was: the men and horses secretly crossed the river, detoured to the back of Xiangyang City, and waited until night fell, suddenly launched an attack and took the southern city of Xiangyang in one fell swoop!

Xiangyang City is divided into south and north, and the south city is the core area, with many shops and a large population, and the state pastoral office, money and grain depot, and weapons depot...... and the residences of civil and military officials!

The north city is a defensive area, the city is high and deep, and it is extremely strong, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led the main force of soldiers and horses, stationed in the north city, ready to block Liu Bei's army from going south, and between the south and north cities, there is the turbulent Han River, on which there are three iron cable pontoon bridges to pass!

Liu Bei has been in Jingzhou for several years, and has managed a lot of contacts, including many generals who hold military power and civil officials in important positions.

At that time, Cai Mao and Zhang Yunkong had 100,000 heavy soldiers, and they could only sigh across the river, and once the southern city fell, the northern city would inevitably be in turmoil, either surrender or flee, Liu Bei ascended the heights again, and the whole city of Xiangyang was at your fingertips!

As long as he occupies Xiangyang City, Liu Bei will be able to succeed him as the pastor of Jingzhou, and he will justifiably command the nine counties, as well as more than two million soldiers and civilians.

Gossip is less, the book is back to business, Liu Bei and Xu Shu led the army to the old estuary, only to see the blue sky and white clouds, water birds soaring, clear water, groups of swimming fish, the scenery is as beautiful as a picture, but there is also a problem - there is no ferry!

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are not fools, they are preparing for Liu Beijun to cross the river to the south, so they all bring together the large and small ships on the Han River to the south bank, but they forgot one thing, the boats are all man-made, and someone will have a boat!

Liu Bei immediately dispatched men and horses to the nearby fishing villages, collected the remaining boats, and sought the help of the fishermen by the way to cross the Han River as soon as possible!

"Woohoo! -Uncle Liu's team is here, big guy, go and help! ”

"Uncle Liu Huang has become the pastor of Jingzhou, and the people will have a good life, so quickly row the boat over!"

…………………………

I have to admit that Liu Bei is usually benevolent and loving, and has won the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, and at the critical moment, the hearts of the people are even more than thousands of troops!

The surrounding villages were boiling, and fishermen rowed out of the reeds to hide large and small boats, and if there were no boats, they cut down green bamboos and made rafts...... There are hundreds of boats, and there are thousands of fishermen, men, women, and children, all of whom come to help!

Fishermen have lived in Hanshui for a long time, familiar with the water conditions here, and the boat is even more skillful, although the boat is not big, but it is better than the number of people, a boat carries six or seven people, hundreds of boats ferrying back and forth, it only took more than an hour, and 15,000 people and horses were sent through the Hanshui!

"Wan Sheng! --Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

………………

After crossing the Han River, the soldiers waved weapons, cheers were deafening, Liu Bei was also quite proud, since ancient times, those who won the hearts of the people won the world, with the strong support of the people, why not worry about being the lord of Jingzhou, or even the lord of the world?

After thanking the fishermen for their help, the group continued to move south, heading straight for Xiangyang City, where Neiying was ready to open the city gate at any time and receive the army to enter......

But as cunning as Liu Bei and resourceful as Xu Shu, they didn't expect it, just when they rushed to cross the Han River, an elite cavalry team also quietly approached the old estuary, lurking like a hungry wolf, ready to pounce on the prey at any time!

"Password: South Ship North Horse--- Answer: Go to each side!"

"Da! --Da! Da! ”

Late at night - at the south gate of Xiangyang City, a group of soldiers with torches in their hands constantly patrolled the city wall, and from time to time sounded loud passwords, and in the moat outside, there were misty boats swimming back and forth!

It turns out that Xiangyang City is uniquely endowed with Han water as a moat, the width can reach more than 80 zhang, and the narrow place is also 50 or 60 zhang, and the water flow is turbulent, the depth is unpredictable, even if hundreds of thousands of troops come to fill the river, they have to be busy for a month or two!

In order to facilitate travel, people built an arch bridge on the river, 18 holes are connected, all of them are repaired by boulders - go up and go on the carriage and horse, get off the boat, the design is exquisite, incomparably strong, and the walls on both sides are also built, and heavy troops are sent to guard the stone arch bridge, and the generals of the unified army are: Wei Yan, Huo Jun!

Wei Yan, a long character and a native of Yiyang, has both civil and military skills, is good at commanding troops, holds a purple gold broadsword, has the courage of ten thousand people, and is good at riding and shooting, and can penetrate Yang in 100 steps!

Huo Jun, the word Zhong Miao, Nanyang people, is modest, kind to soldiers, a double-edged long axe in his hand, wielded impermeable, when suppressing the Jiangxia mutiny, he led hundreds of soldiers to resist the attack of tens of thousands of chaotic people, and is known for being good at defense!

Wei Yan and Huo Jun are young and strong, they have fought on the battlefield for several years, made great achievements, and won a lot of good reputations, known as the 'Jingzhou Twin Stars', and have a lot of prestige among the soldiers!

However, although the two of them are famous, their official positions are pitiful, and they are still tooth generals, responsible for the guards in the south of Xiangyang City, to put it bluntly, they are watching the gate!

The reason is that the Jingzhou military is controlled by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, and most of the people promoted are the children of the two families, and the rest of the people are difficult to have promotion opportunities even if they have outstanding abilities and outstanding military achievements, not to mention Wei Yan and Huo Jun, the two young generals, that is, the first general in Jingzhou - Huang Hansheng, is just a Zhonglang general, who is over sixty years old and has a bleak career!

However, the high-level of Jingzhou is stupid, and they can suppress the official positions of the two, but they can't suppress the two young hearts......

Now that Cao Jun is pressing the border, Jingzhou is in turmoil, and the people are panicking, Wei Yan and Huo Jun decided to contact like-minded people to change a new lord for themselves and a new master for Xiangyang City!

"Is everything arranged, you must be careful in your actions, if you let the above find out, our head will be difficult to protect!"

"Wen Chang, don't worry, the city gate is all his own people, just wait for Uncle Liu's team to arrive, and they will be able to cooperate with the outside and change the world!"

Wei Yan and Huo Jun stood on the city tower, staring at the wilderness outside, as if they were looking for something, and whispered a few words from time to time, both of them were a little anxious!

According to the agreement, at the second watch tonight, Liu Bei's men and horses will arrive outside the city, raise three bonfires, hang three lanterns at the head of the city, and then open the city gate, join the inside and outside, and take Xiangyang City in one fell swoop!

Now that the hour is approaching, there is no fire outside the city for a long time, and there is no movement of people and horses, could it be that there was an accident on the way, after all, there is the barrier of Hanshui and natural dangers, and it is not easy to sneak attack Xiangyang City?

But every time you wait for a moment more, the danger will be greater, in case the news leaks out, or is detected by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, the lives of the two are worried?

"Wen Chang and Zhong Miao don't go to inspect the city defense, why are they standing here, is there any movement outside the city?"

In a hurry, along the horse road on the city wall, a group of soldiers came over, led by a person of medium stature and easy-going face, it was the general who patrolled the city - Cai An!

After Cai Mao and Zhang Yun decided to surrender to Cao, they were worried that there would be opposition from inside, so they installed people they trusted in important places to monitor every move of civil and military officials!

Cai An is Cai Mao's brother, he has no great skills, but he is humble and always smiling, he is a famous good man, and he also knows a little about martial arts, so he was promoted to a partial general, specializing in patrolling the southern district of Xiangyang City!

"The two of us have just inspected, both inside and outside are safe, and I am about to go over to say goodbye, I didn't think the general would come by himself, the smell of dew is quite heavy tonight, and there is a good wine in the room under the city, please drink a few times the general!"

Wei Yan and Huo Jun glanced at each other, both showing worriedness, the former took a few steps up to try to trick Cai An away from the south gate, while the latter quickly walked down the city tower and led more than a dozen henchmen to firmly guard the city gate, ready to open the lock at any time!

"This general was ordered to make an inspection, and since he should strictly abide by the precepts in the army, how can he drink in private, and wait until dawn to hand over, and then drink again!"

Cai An was originally a drinker, and he didn't drink or enjoy every day, but when he remembered his duty, he still swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and ruthlessly refused the invitation!

"It's already dark at night, my lord, let's go back and rest, there are two generals here!"

"As a general, you should share weal and woe with your subordinates, how can this general be an exception!"

"Dark clouds cover the moon tonight, I'm afraid there will be rain, the general should go back and rest, there will be something to tell you!"

…………………………………………

Next, Wei Yan changed several excuses, trying to take Cai An away, the other party's character is good, it is a pity to lose his life, I didn't expect Cai An to have a strong sense of responsibility, he refused to leave the city tower alive or dead, and he had to stick to it until dawn!

Since he is looking for death, it is no wonder that others are no more, Wei Yan's eyes wandered, and he couldn't help but hold the sword at his waist...... If you want to achieve great things, good people can also be killed!

"Look, look up, my lord, there's a flying fire meteor in the sky, it's so big and bright!"

"Spitfire Meteor, where--ah!"

While talking, Wei Yan suddenly pointed to the sky, revealing a surprised expression, and there was a strong joy in his tone......

I saw that in the infinite sky, dark clouds covered the moon and pitch black, not to mention the flying fire meteors, not even a little starlight could not be seen, but in the wilderness outside the city, there were a few bonfires dancing......

Cai An just wanted to ask who set the fire in the wild, but before he could say anything, he felt a chill on his neck, his head rolled and flew up, and then he didn't know anything......

"Open the city gate and welcome Uncle Liu's men and horses in, Jingzhou is going to change its master - kill!"

He killed Cai An with a sword, and Wei Yan slashed the opponent's own soldiers, only killing people with rolling heads and blood splattering...... At the same time, Huo Jun led the people to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and the soldiers and horses outside the city swarmed in!
