"It's over......" At the same time, the same thought rose in Liu Bei's heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yan, Zhou Cang and other generals of the Yizhou Army looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Liu Bei's eyes rolled from side to side, and he said in his heart whether this was a secret signal to launch a surprise attack, Li Yi did it on purpose, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat.

However, Pang Tong found some clues and stopped Liu Bei.

Li Yi saw it in the city, and was taken aback, and said in his heart that it was worthy of being the phoenix and the young Pang Tong who was on a par with Zhuge Liang, and you can still calculate this kind of tense moment. Fortunately, the master still has a killer weapon, so I heard him shout: "Don't do it yet, when will you wait!" ”

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Only three drums sounded, and the city head of Danyang Ju Xiaocheng was instantly full of flags and flags, and the sound of drums and horns shook the sky.

And with the sound of the drum at the head of the city, on the Jing Mountain in the north of Danyang Ju Town, there was a boundless shout, as if there were endless soldiers and horses about to rush over from it.

Liu Bei was full of heart and soul, and exclaimed: "There is an ambush, retreat, retreat!" ”

Before the words fell, Liu Bei took the lead and ran away.

"Lord ......" Pang Tong frowned and stared at Li Yi at the head of the city, doubting in his heart, he turned around and was about to persuade, but who knew that Liu Bei was running fast and had already slipped away.

The lord has run away, who dares to stay? In the midst of the boiling and neighing, more than 100,000 Yizhou troops ran away with Liu Bei.

At the head of the city, Li Yi wiped his sweat and finally felt a little relieved.

Dian Wei and other generals were also stunned when they saw more than 100,000 Yizhou troops retreating, and they couldn't believe it.

Jia Xu, Xu Shu and other strategists and military advisors who followed Li Yi discussed one after another:

"If we wait, we will abandon the city and go away......"

"The city gates are wide open, and there are no soldiers to defend it, this is an empty city plan."

"The lord's plan is comparable to the sage strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, wanting to capture the old and cond, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, and waiting for work at ease, I admire it!"

……

Li Yi picked up the broken strings, shook his head and said, "The strings are dangerous, so I have to use them as a last resort." This is a small way, and you must not be ashamed, otherwise you will end up harming others and yourself. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank, and they said that the lord was worthy of being the lord, and when he was defeating the enemy army like this, he was still so calm, and they bowed down and said: "Obey the lord's teachings." ”

Li Yi said again: "Although Liu Bei temporarily retreated, but there are people like Pang Tong in his army, who must react quickly, so this place is not a place to stay for a long time, so quickly send orders to all departments to speed up and retreat in the direction of Xiangyang." ”

Li Yi gave an order, and the soldiers took action one after another. Of the 500 soldiers, 200 people were left to guard Li Yi's return to the north, and the remaining 300 people were temporarily used as scouts, scattered around the surrounding places, contacted the scattered northern Xinjiang troops, and retreated to Xiangyang in an orderly manner.

………………

On the other side, after Liu Bei ran for dozens of miles, he was finally caught up by Pang Tong.

Pang Tong was very dissatisfied and said: "Lord, you are running too fast!" There is not a single figure of the Northern Frontier Army in the back! ”

"What? No one?! Liu Bei was taken aback, and when he looked back, there was indeed not a single Northern Xinjiang army, and he suddenly came back to his senses, and he fell for Li Yi's plan again.

Although he understood it in his heart, of course Liu Bei refused to admit that he had fallen for the scheme, and said very embarrassedly: "I think it is because the Northern Xinjiang Army is physically exhausted and can't catch up." ”

Pang Tong didn't think so, shook his head and said: "This must be Li Yi's conspiracy, perhaps, except for a small number of soldiers, there is no large-scale army around him." In other words, the small city of Danyang is actually an empty city. ”

Liu Bei pretended not to believe it and said, "No......"

Pang Tong also saw that the lord didn't want to admit that he had been tricked, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity to hunt down Li Yi, because once Li Yi returned to Xiangyang, it would be to let the tiger return to the mountain. Although the Northern Xinjiang Army was defeated in this battle, Pang Tong knew very well that the results achieved by the Yizhou Army were actually very limited, and even the Northern Xinjiang Army of the Southern Expedition could not be said to be broken, let alone greatly damaged the vitality of Li Yi and the Northern Xinjiang Army.

However, Liu Bei is the lord, and he must also take care of his face, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "You can send someone back to investigate, and you will know at a glance." ”

Liu Bei got off the donkey and sent people back to investigate.

Half an hour later, he came on a horse, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and bowed: "Lord, there is no Northern Frontier Army in Danyang Juxiaocheng, and there is no one among the common people. ”

Such a result had long been expected by Liu Bei, but he still pretended to be very angry and scolded angrily: "Damn, Li Yi is stealing and tricking and deceiving Uncle Benhuang!" ”

Zhou Cang on the side muttered in a low voice: "If you had listened to me Lao Zhou, I would have caught Li Yi a long time ago!" ”

Liu Bei exploded his lungs when he heard this, if it was an ordinary person, he would have been pulled out and beheaded. However, after all, the person who spoke was the first to follow Zhou Cang, and he was also loyal to himself, Liu Bei didn't want to lose people's hearts because of this, so he could only force down the unhappiness with Zhou Cang in his heart.

However, for the time being, he couldn't use the knife against Zhou Cang, so he could target the Northern Frontier Army, so he shouted angrily: "Pass my general order, the rear team will change to the front team, pursue the Northern Frontier Army, chase!" ”

However, when Liu Bei caught up, it was already too late, and the Northern Xinjiang Army had already evacuated the small city of Danyang.

Liu Bei was annoyed and ashamed, and rejected Pang Tong's suggestion to lead his army east to Jiangling City to join Liu Biao and defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army under Jiangling City, and led an army of 200,000 to kill Xiangyang overwhelmingly.

In fact, Liu Bei also has his own considerations, the Yizhou army under his command has just been annexed, and he has made such a big oolong, how to convince the public? As a monarch, he must save face in order to safely return to the Yizhou generals.

………………

Xiangyang.

Li Yitang sat high, holding a brush in his hand, constantly writing and drawing on a map.

At this time, it was already the second day of his retreat to Xiangyang, and all the units of the retreating Northern Xinjiang Army returned to Xiangyang City under the leadership of their respective generals. After Li Yi counted, he found that he had lost 60,000 troops, which was equivalent to the loss of two legions. Even if he has a big family now, it is very painful.

The only good news is that none of his precious generals had any accidents, and many of them returned to Xiangyang.

Subsequently, Li Yi got the news from the scouts that Liu Bei joined Zhang Ren's troops, as well as some of the original Liu Biao troops from the four counties of Jingnan that had been recovered, raising a total of 300,000 troops, and was coming to Xiangyang in the mighty north, and had the posture of fighting him to the death.

Li Yi didn't pay much attention to this, although he was defeated in the battle of Yiling, because of the reason that he was not adapted, but he did not hurt his muscles and bones, plus the Chang Yuchun Army that originally stayed in Xiangyang City, at this moment the Northern Frontier Army in Xiangyang City still has 150,000 horses. With the 50,000 Jingzhou troops, there are 200,000 horses, and Liu Bei's 300,000 horses have no possibility of breaking through Xiangyang.

Cai Mao cautiously came to the council hall and bowed: "Lord, the Jingzhou Navy has been reorganized, with a total of more than 1,000 large and small ships. ”

Li Yi looked back from the military topographic map, nodded and said, "You immediately work with Zhang Yun to transport 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers to Jiangling." Take the port of the Yangtze River south of Gangneung and assist Yunchang in attacking Gangneung. At the same time, it is necessary to pay close attention to the movements of the Jiangdong Navy in order to facilitate our army's subsequent military operations. ”

Cai Mao agreed and withdrew.

Li Yi nodded secretly, and said in his heart that Cai Mao is still very talented in the navy, and even Zhou Yu, the commander of the Eastern Wu army and the governor of the navy, is afraid of three points. During this period of investigation, Cai Mao also worked hard, and Huang Yueying's in-law relationship, so Li Yi deliberately used him.

As soon as Cai Mao left, Xu Maogong walked in and said, "My lord, I have already passed the book to the states of the Central Plains." The reinforcements of the 100,000 army will all arrive in a month, and there will be a large number of supplies. ”

For the first time, Li Yi felt the benefits of a large territory, although the previous war had lost 60,000 troops, but it was still far from breaking his muscles and bones.

Li Yi asked, "Where did Liu Bei go?" ”

Xu Maogong hurriedly said: "The Yizhou army has crossed Yishui, and its forward army has arrived in Zhonglu City and fought with our army. ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "Order the defenders of Zhonglu to abandon Zhonglu and withdraw to Xiangyang." Then he ordered the cavalry units to sneak out of the city with the lord and withdraw into the Atou Mountain in the Longzhong area to ambush. ”

That night, Li Yi took Dian Wei, Li Cunxiao, Gao Chong and other three personal guard generals, as well as Gao Changgong, Lu Bu, Xue Rengui, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Wenlong and other generals, led the remaining 80,000 cavalry of the five legions, quietly out of Xiangyang City, and retreated westward into the vast Atou Mountain.

………………

Looking at Xu Shu who hurriedly ran in, Li Yi asked, "Yuan Zhi, are the scouts back?" What's the news? ”

"Great news, even better than the lord's imagination." Xu Shu waved his hand and shouted, "Wu Lan, the general of the Yizhou Army, is escorting grain and grass to cross Yishui. ”

Li Yi looked down at the map and asked, "How many people?" ”

"A few scouts who reported back said it was about 10,000 people. Supplies for an army of 300,000 troops, thousands of wagons, ox carts, huge convoys. Xu Shu pointed to the Yicheng ferry on the map and said excitedly, "It's all here, all concentrated here." We could run overnight and catch him off guard. ”

Li Yi didn't squeak, his left index finger flicked lightly on the desk, and his eyes stared straight at the Yicheng ferry on the map.

Dian Wei leaned into Xu Shu's ear and whispered: "Now the supply of the Yizhou Army is in Yishui." If we rob him of supplies, do you think it will be very difficult for the Yizhou army to attack Xiangyang City? ”

"I'm afraid that the time for their siege will be delayed again and again." Li Yi suddenly slapped the table and scolded angrily.

Xu Shu and Dian Wei hurriedly surrounded them.

"Lord, is there anything wrong?" Xu Shu asked strangely.

Li Yi said lightly: "Liu Bei has not yet attacked the city, but the follow-up supplies have already arrived in Yishui, which shows the importance of this batch of supplies to them." What we thought of, couldn't Liu Bei think of it? He will definitely send more people to escort him, and I'm afraid it's hard for us to have a chance to do it. ”

"Cun Xiao......" Li Yi shouted.

Li Cunxiao walked into the big tent in response.

Li Yi instructed: "Inform the generals of all departments to come to me immediately." ”
