At the beginning of April of the third year of Chuping (192). Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After a winter of barriers, the coalition forces of Sun, Liu, and Lu finally couldn't bear it, and directly led their troops to move towards Yuan Shu.

If the three of them were still a little afraid of Yuan Shu's strength before, and they didn't dare to rashly make a move on Yuan Shu, then now they really have no scruples.

After all, there were only three of them before, and the strength was only half of Yuan Shu's, and now with Huang Zhong's 70,000 army, even compared to Yuan Shu's 250,000 army, it is not much worse.

After Ji Ling learned about Shangyong's situation, he directly led his troops back to Runan, and he also understood that in this case, it was no longer realistic to repel Lu Bu and the three of them head-on, and now he could only rely on the strong city of Runan to resist the coalition army.

And now Sun Jian and Lu Bu are divided into two routes, attacking Runan from two roads, while Liu Biao is sitting in Xiangyang, also guarding against Yuan Shu's sneak attack.

Of course, since it is an alliance, Lu Bu and Sun Jian will naturally not make Liu Biao so comfortable, in addition to all the grain, grass and military supplies in this war are all in charge of Liu Biao, he himself also sent Wen Ping and Wang Wei to lead 10,000 troops respectively, joining Lu Bu and Sun Jian's side, although these soldiers and horses are better than nothing in the eyes of Sun Jian and Lu Bu, but at least they can be regarded as contributing.

It is precisely because of this that at this moment, Xiangyang basically only left Liu Biao and 10,000 troops behind, but this shows the determination of the three-person alliance to take down Yuan Shu.

Jingzhou, Runan County, outside Shangcai City.

"How dare Ji Lingpifu come out and fight me!" Lu Bu's thunderous voice continued to sound outside Shangcai City.

Since Lu Bu sent his troops, he has been like a bamboo, and it didn't take long for the thirteen counties of Lianke to hit the bottom of Cai County in Runanzhi, but it is not so easy to move forward here.

It's like that. This is not only because of Lu Bu's own strength, but also because there are not many defenders in the thirteen counties in front of him.

Ji Ling knew that Lu Bu was powerful, and he was unwilling to disperse his forces to stay, so the first thirteen counties could be said to have been abandoned by Ji Ling, and all his troops were stationed in Shangcai, so as to resist Lu Bu.

In the face of Lu Bu's roar, the only thing that responded was the war-free card hanging high on the city wall, and the 150,000-strong army faced Lu Bu's 30,000-strong army, but still had to hang the war-free card, which I have to say is indeed a bit ironic. Avoiding a fight also made the morale of the army low, but Ji Ling was also very depressed at the moment.

In Shangcai County.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of Sun Jian's army?" Ji Ling looked at his subordinates below and asked with a frown.

Ji Ling is reluctant to fight with Lu Bu now, because of Lu Bu's martial arts, Ji Ling knows very well that with Lu Bu's martial arts, none of them are his opponents.

To fight with Lu Bu, the only way is to press the army, if you go out to fight with him, then in addition to giving Lu Bu a head. In addition to boosting the morale of the other party, there is no other effect.

And the second reason is because he has not yet detected the movement of Sun Jian's army.

At the beginning, it was obvious that Lu Bu and Sun Jianbing were divided into two ways, but now Lu Bu's soldiers and horses have arrived in front of Shangcai County. But Sun Jian didn't make any movement for a long time, which made Ji Ling not worry.

If he was fighting with Lu Bu in full swing, Sun Jian suddenly rushed out of nowhere and stabbed him in the back. Or maybe it was better to take advantage of Lu Bu to contain his army, while Sun Jian went to attack other places.

Therefore, the current Ji Ling did not dare to move. Even if avoiding a fight would reduce the morale of the army, he was unwilling to fight with Lu Bu, in Ji Ling's opinion, safety was the most important thing.

"Nope!" Ji Ling's command responded with a sense of shame.

Hearing this, Ji Ling frowned involuntarily, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

This Sun Jian is really troublesome, he didn't detect his movements for a day, Ji Ling didn't dare to act rashly, he was really aggrieved.

"Is there any news from the lord's side, and is there any reinforcements coming from Yuan Shao's side?" Ji Ling asked again.

Again, the lieutenant replied, "I don't know." ”

Hearing this, Ji Ling also had an angry expression on his face, but he still endured it forcefully.

On Yuan Shao's side, Ji Ling didn't have much hope at all, not to mention whether Yuan Shao was willing to send reinforcements, even if he really sent them, I was afraid that he wouldn't have much strength, and he could rely on himself.

"Shangyong's side, there is no movement in Huang Zhong's army!" Ji Ling asked.

"This ...... I don't know! ”

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, what the hell are you eating!" Ji Ling immediately became furious.

I really don't know if I ask three questions, I don't know what to ask, so what's the use of him Ji Ling asking these subordinates.

The most important thing in fighting a war is intelligence, and sometimes getting the news a day earlier is enough to determine the outcome of a war.

And he, Ji Ling, doesn't know anything now, just like a blind man, that's still a fart.

Immediately, the lieutenant general was panicked, and hurriedly explained: "General, recently, our scouts have gone to find out the whereabouts of Sun Jian's soldiers and horses, so we have neglected other intelligence. ”

"Humph!" Ji Ling snorted dissatisfiedly, he didn't get mad, thinking about it carefully, this order was also given by himself, and he asked people to search for Sun Jian's whereabouts with all his might, so he couldn't blame others completely.

"The general is not good...... and at this time, a soldier rushed in in a hurry.

"I'm fine!" Ji Ling roared suddenly, he was in a bad mood originally, but now that he heard this kind of words, he couldn't help it immediately.

The soldier was immediately taken aback, and quickly explained: "No, that's not what it means. ”

"What's going on!" Ji Ling didn't bother to bother with a small soldier, and asked in a cold voice.

"General Lei went out of the city to meet Lu Bu without permission." The soldier shouted.

"What did you say!" Ji Ling was surprised.

General Lei, the general under Yuan Shu, is Lei Bo, who has a very irritable personality. This time, he was sent by Yuan Shu with Ji Ling to deal with the coalition of Sun Jian and the others.

It's just that the commander this time is still Ji Ling, and Ji Ling also knows Lei Bo's character, so he has been telling Lei Bo not to go out of the city to meet the battle a few days ago, but in the end, Lei Bo still couldn't resist Lu Bu's provocation outside and went to meet the battle.

"General, what should I do?" The adjutant general hurriedly asked.

"Damn it! Go, go out with me to stop it! Ji Ling just got up and strode out.

It's useless to say anything now, I hope I can still have time to stop that thunderbolt. (To be continued.) )
