After the Yizhou Army took the initiative to fight with the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the Yiling area of Nanjun, the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army was defeated and suffered heavy losses because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Liu Bei is to do this, so that he dares to go north with confidence. But Fa Zheng is not at ease. If the Northern Frontier Army in Jingzhou suffered heavy losses, Li Yi would ask the imperial court for help, and if the Northern Frontier Army in neighboring Yuzhou and Yanzhou came to support in time, the Yizhou Army would also be fiercely attacked.

But Liu Bei was very confident, and he believed that the imperial court would not issue an order in time to dispatch troops to the Jingzhou battlefield. Because now on the battlefield in Yangzhou, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong have been eyeing each other. If once the troops of Yuzhou and Yanzhou were transferred, Jiangdong Sun Quan and Zhou Yu would definitely go north, and once they broke through the northern defenders of Yangzhou, they would go straight to the Central Plains, and the threat would be much greater than that of Liu Bei, who captured Jingzhou.

When Fa Zheng received Liu Bei's letter, he knew that now the arrow was off the string and there was no turning back. Fa Zheng decided to lead 50,000 troops to Xiangyang City to support Liu Bei, leaving the remaining 50,000 troops in Ba County in case of accidents.

When he led his troops to Ziguicheng in Nanjun, Zhang Song hurried from the front line. When he heard that Liu Bei had led a large army to besiege Xiangyang City, Fa Zheng's heart was suddenly filled with ominous thoughts. Fa Zheng felt the resistance from the Jingzhou battlefield, and attacking Xiangyang City was not as simple as Liu Bei imagined. Now the attack of the Yizhou army on the battlefield of Xiangyang City has been blocked, while the northern Xinjiang army in Guanzhong and Xiliang is gathering. A battle could start at any moment at two places more than a thousand miles apart. If this is the case, it will be a disaster for the Yizhou army.

When they arrived at Yiling, they received the news that the Yizhou army was attacked by the northern cavalry outside Xiangyang City at night and suffered heavy casualties.

Fa Zheng immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing.

Zhang Song's meaning is very clear, there is no definite news that Yue Fei in Guanzhong has the intention of attacking Hanzhong, but Xiangyang City has the last blow left, and taking Xiangyang City is equivalent to taking the entire Nanjun.

The meaning of Fa Zheng is simpler, what are you doing in Nanjun? If you can't take the whole of Jingzhou, or at least the area south of Hanshui, you won't be able to solve any problems at all. Once Hanzhong and Guanghan are attacked, how to deal with the enemy in Yizhou? Is it possible to repeat the mistakes of the past and follow the old path of the lord? In the past, the lord was in the Central Plains, and there was still a place to retreat after defeat. But now that Yizhou is the most remote place, where will it retreat if it is defeated?

And what should I do if I put my troops scarred in Xiangyang City and attack Jiangling City? What to do if you attack Nanyang County? The Yizhou Army currently does not have the strength to capture Jingzhou, so it is better to face up to the reality, withdraw from Xiangyang City, and retain its strength as the best policy.

Zhang Song saw that Fa was so resolute, and retreated to the next best. He decided to disobey the military order and not return to Yizhou to raise food and grass for the army for the time being. He decided to rush back to the camp of Xiangyang City in person, tell Liu Bei the meaning of Fazheng, and let the lord decide whether to withdraw the army from Xiangyang City, and only the lord can decide.

He hoped that Fa Zheng would still obey the military orders of the lord and lead the army to the north quickly. Blatantly disobeying military orders is a capital offense, and there is no need to turn against the lord over this matter. This matter is related to the future of the Yizhou army, and the lord is also a brave and resourceful person, and he will not ignore the future of the Yizhou army and insist on going his own way.

In addition, Wu Lan mentioned in the book last time that he hoped that the reinforcements would secretly rush to the Yicheng ferry to see if there was a chance to lure the northern cavalry to come and rob the grain, and take the opportunity to beat them hard.

Fa Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "If this plan is implemented before the big camp is attacked, there is still a possibility of success. Right now...... It's not easy to do it, it's self-defeating, and even the grain and grass are dangerous. ”

Zhang Song looked at Fa Zheng strangely, a little disbelieving.

Fa Zheng is very young, twenty-four or five years old, of medium stature, handsome in appearance, and slightly weak. Don't be fooled by his appearance, his martial arts are also very good, and his swordsmanship and archery skills are very superb.

"After the main force of the Yizhou army is damaged, reinforcements must be requested. Wu Lan was stunned for a long time at the Yicheng ferry, and suddenly marched boldly, there was only one possibility, that is, the follow-up reinforcements arrived. Otherwise, he would not dare to leave the ferry even if he gave Wu Lan a hundred dares. Of course, a person like Li Yi who is good at using soldiers will not be fooled. Only the people who came up with this idiotic idea were fooled. ”

Zhang Song was stunned, and then his face turned red, and he secretly admired it in his heart, and sighed to himself.

………………

Outside Jiangling City, the Northern Xinjiang Army camp.

In the big tent, Guan Yu was discussing the siege of the city with Guo Jia and Xun You, two military advisors, as well as Zhang He, Wei Yan, Meng Hui and other generals.

Due to the height of Gangneung City, the battle for more than a month was very difficult. The Northern Xinjiang Army attacked the city several times, but Yi Yuan, Han Song, Kuai Liang and others were very cunning, and Liu Biao personally supervised the battle, and finally failed to break the defense.

Guo Jia said: "The garrison in Jiangling City has sufficient troops and grain and grass, and a strong attack is not a way, it can only be outwitted. ”

Guan Yu asked: "Then in the view of filial piety, how to outwit?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Although we have been attacking Jiangling for more than a month, due to the limitation of troops, we have not completely blocked the external contact of Jiangling City, so we can send someone to pretend to be Liu Bei's envoy, sneak into the city, and send news ......."

Guan Yu heard it and felt that this plan was good, so he repaired a book and sent someone to sneak into Jiangling City.

………………

In Gangneung Castle, the county guard's house.

Liu Biao is almost sixty years old, which is more than a thousand years old, which is equivalent to eighty in later generations. At such an age, after a series of fierce battles, he is already very emaciated. During the discussion, I fell asleep inadvertently.

"Lord, lord." Kuai Liang called from the side.

Liu Biao opened his bloodshot eyes, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed, "Is it that the Northern Xinjiang Army is attacking the city again?" Quick, ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Liu Biao coughed violently, almost out of breath. The maid on the side hurriedly patted her back gently.

Kuai Liang hurriedly said: "Lord, it's not that the Northern Xinjiang Army is attacking the city again, it's Liu Bei's news." ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he signaled that it was okay, sat down weakly again, and asked, "Liu Bei, what a Liu Bei." He killed Tongzong and got Yizhou. Now, does he want to use this method to get my Jingzhou again? ”

Yi Yuan on the side watched Liu Biao's weak appearance, with dark circles under his eyes, a green-skinned face, and panting. If nothing good happens, it is estimated that it will not be long in the future. sighed and said, "Lord, now our army still needs to join forces with Liu Bei to repel Li Yi's attack." ”

Liu Biaoqiang opened his eyes and waved his hand: "What did Liu Xuande say?" ”

Kuai Liang opened the letter at this time, looked at it carefully, looked at it with joy, and said: "Liu Bei has news that the Northern Xinjiang Army is not adaptable, and it will not be able to recover after the defeat of Yiling. Liu Bei specially told him that defeating Li Yi was just around the corner, and he was just afraid that Jiangling's Northern Frontier Army would come back. ”

He said that in order to prevent being flanked from the front and rear, if the Jiangling Northern Frontier Army retreated. He asked the lord to pursue with all his might, and then send a message to him, so as to form a flanking attack on the Northern Frontier Army that returned to Jiangling. ”

In the battle of Yiling some time ago, Li Yi was indeed defeated, and his own life was almost lost. This matter has been spread a long time ago, and Liu Biao also knows about it. He nodded and said, "After defeating the Northern Frontier Army, you must be careful of Liu Bei." ”

Two days later, Liu Biao lay listlessly in the back garden, and the Northern Xinjiang Army did not attack in the past two days, which gave him a rare rest for a while.

"Lord, lord, the Northern Frontier Army outside the city has begun to retreat" Kuai Liang hurriedly ran in, and said breathlessly, but his face was full of joy.

Liu Biao immediately became energetic and asked, "Great, it must be that Liu Xuande has made progress again, Guan Yu is coming back for help." You immediately sent my orders, and the whole army pursued. After arriving in Xiangyang, tell Liu Xuande, I don't care about Liu Zhang's affairs in Yizhou, this Xiangyang City, I want to return it......"

"Whoa!" Kuai Liang agreed, and immediately gave the order.

Half an hour later, the gates of Gangneung were opened. Liu Biao only left 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and Su Fei, the general of Jingzhou, led an army of 50,000 to kill it.

However, this was Guan Yu's strategy. Therefore, when Su Fei caught up with the rear team of the Northern Xinjiang Army and was ready to cover up. The drums and horns sounded all around, and I saw Wei Yan leading 10,000 people to kill from the left side, and Zhang He leading 10,000 people to kill from the right side. Guan Yu and Meng Heng took 20,000 soldiers from their own formation and turned around to meet the enemy.

Guan Yu was fast, and when he met Su Fei in front of the battle, he cut him down the horse with just one move. Under the sandwich, the Jingzhou soldiers were defeated, more than 10,000 people were killed, only more than 1,000 escaped, and the remaining more than 30,000 people surrendered.

………………

At noon, Liu Biao was very happy, and for the first time he entertained civil and military officials in the mansion.

The Northern Xinjiang Army retreated, which was great news for the civil and military forces of Gangneung.

Han Song said happily: "Lord, defeating Li Yi is just around the corner." ”

Gongzi Liu Qi also said happily: "Father, my lord is blessed with Qitian, even if Li Yi sits on the land of ten states, he will not dare to watch my Jingzhou!" ”

The rest of the people also spoke one after another, thinking that they had defeated Li Yi. From then on, the north did not dare to watch the land of Jingxiang, and they could enjoy life again.

Liu Biao's face was full of red light, swept away the bad luck of the past few months, and his body felt much lighter, and he raised his glass and said: "Thanks to all of you, come and come, drink this cup." ”

Just as everyone at the banquet was toasting together, a scout horse rushed in covered in blood, fell to his knees, and shouted: "My lord, our army has encountered an ambush in pursuit, and the whole army of 50,000 has been annihilated. ”

For a moment, everyone was silent, holding their luxurious wine glasses, and looked at the Tanma in astonishment.

Liu Biao could barely believe his ears and shouted, "What did you say?!" ”

Tanma said in detail: "General Su Fei pursued the enemy and encountered an ambush by the Northern Xinjiang Army. General Su Fei was killed in battle, only more than 1,000 people escaped, and the rest were either killed or surrendered. ”

At this moment, everyone listened to it, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and their hands and feet were cold.

"Guan Yunchang deceived me too much!" Liu Biao shouted, staggered to his feet, his fat face was full of red light, suddenly purple and blackened, and a mouthful of red blood sprayed on the desk in front of him. He rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Lord!"

"Father!"

……

The crowd hurried forward, but they couldn't wake up even after trying their best.
