Liu Bei knew that many people in Yizhou's original civil and military forces were very dissatisfied with his capture of Yizhou, but he didn't expect that when this big war was approaching, Liu Bi would dare to disobey the yang and the yin, and he was extremely angry in his heart, and said coldly: "Urge again." The www.biquge.info ordered him to set out tomorrow with his army, attack and advance in the direction of Linfu, and cover the flank of the main army. If the military aircraft is delayed again, military law will be involved. ”

Wu Lan hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Lord, let's let General Ling Bao talk about it." They are close friends, giving face to each other. At this time, it's better not to make contradictions. What do you say, my lord? ”

Liu Bei nodded, "It's okay." You go and make a trip, tell Ling Bao and Liu Bi, let them lead their troops out of Zigui tomorrow, and the troops will be divided into two ways, Ling Bao will attack Linfang, and Ling Bao will go deep into the territory of Nanjun, contain the enemy forces on both wings of the main force, and cover the large army to Jiangling City. ”

………………

Gao Xianzhi was exhausted and sat on the horse drowsy. He hadn't slept in two days.

Due to the timely retreat and the cavalry, his 6,000 troops were barely retained, which was a great blessing in the midst of misfortune.

After learning that Liu Bei led the army out of Sichuan, Gao Xianzhi asked for an order in front of the lord and led the army of his headquarters as the vanguard to occupy Yiling and prevent Liu Bei's army from landing from Yiling.

In order to arrive at Yiling quickly, Gao Xianzhi led 6,000 men and horses from his headquarters, one person and two horses, and rushed to Yiling day and night.

However, when it took him a day and a half to arrive at Yiling, he found that the advance of the Yizhou army had already occupied Yiling.

Occupying Yiling was 10,000 cavalry led by Wu Yi, the general of Yizhou, which was all the cavalry in the Yizhou army. In order to occupy Yiling, Liu Bei sent Wu Yi to take the lead in leading the cavalry to set off and rush to Yiling by land before setting off from Zigui.

After Gao Xianzhi engaged Wu Yi's forwards, he immediately realized that his men were not the opponents of the other party, and immediately ordered a retreat.

Wu Yi immediately led the Yizhou cavalry in pursuit.

Originally, if the Northern Xinjiang Army was in its heyday, with the speed of the Northern Xinjiang Army, it would be impossible for Wu Yi's cavalry to catch up with the Northern Xinjiang Cavalry, after all, the war horses in Yizhou were all Yunnan bantams, and they were not known for their speed. But before this, the cavalry of the Northern Frontier had been driving for a day and a half without sleep, and it was the time when people were sleepy and the horses were tired, so the speed was naturally much slower.

The two sides fought and stopped all the way, and when the cavalry of the northern frontier withdrew to Fushui, Gao Xianzhi counted that there were still more than 5,000 of his 6,000 men and horses.

Gao Xianzhi was a little depressed, the army in Northern Xinjiang has been invincible in recent years, and it can be said that he is invincible, but why can he only run away like a rabbit as soon as he leads the army to meet the enemy?

………………

Yiling, in the big tent of the Yizhou Army, Liu Bei was lying on the desk, looking at a dilapidated silk map by the faint candlelight. Wu Yi sat next to him.

Wu Yi was a native of Chenliu County, Yanzhou, and his uncle Wu Kuang was a subordinate official of He Jin, a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Yan moved to Yizhou as a pastor, and Wu Yi took the whole family to Shu with Liu Yan because his father had a good relationship with Liu Yan. Later, Liu Yan had the idea of becoming the emperor on his own, and the person who was good at face said that Wu Yi's sister Wu would have a very noble status in the future, so he asked his son Liu Mao, who followed him into Shu, to marry Wu.

In the seventh year of Jian'an (202 AD), Liu Bei captured Yizhou, and Wu Yi led the army to surrender to Liu Bei and was appointed as a rebellious general.

In the summer of the eighth year of Jian'an (203 AD), Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, married Wu Yi's sister Wu, who was a widow at the time, and made her the princess of Shu. Wu Yi was therefore noble, and was worshiped by Liu Bei as the general of the army, and this time he led the army to go out with Liu Bei and served as the vanguard of the army.

After Wu Yi received Liu Bei's order in the afternoon, he stopped the pursuit and stationed the camp at Sanxiangpo, which was sixty miles away from Yiling.

"Ziyuan, is the scout's message accurate?" Liu Bei raised his head and asked in a low voice.

"Rest assured, my lord, our troops have the support of the local people in Nanjun, and the news comes quickly and the source is very reliable. Li Yi's forward general, Xue Rengui's cavalry, had indeed rushed to the edge of Fushui, and it was estimated that they were now crossing the river. Wu Yi said with a solemn expression.

Wu Yi is in his thirties, his face is burnt, his body is thin, but his eyes are very energetic, and he is not angry and arrogant.

"We have no experience in fighting cavalry, and if the troops come into contact with them, I am afraid that they will suffer." Liu Bei said slowly, "With more than 10,000 cavalry in Northern Xinjiang, its combat effectiveness should be very amazing. ”

"What are you afraid of, in the past, the Huns, Karasuma people, and Xianbei people repeatedly went to the border, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen went south, and the Han army basically defended the city or fled when they heard the wind, and it was rare to fight with them. But in the end, it was not the same and was defeated by the army of our Great Han Kingdom. During the period of Emperor Wu, the general Li Ling retreated from the desert with 6,000 foot soldiers, and the 80,000 troops of the Huns followed the siege for more than ten days and could not be broken. It can be seen that cavalry must have the weakness of cavalry, and infantry has the strengths of infantry, as long as it is applied properly, it can completely defeat the enemy. Don't worry, lord. ”

Liu Bei glanced at Wu Yi, who was full of confidence, and said with a smile: "Ziyuan is so heroic. Our 150,000 men and horses against him 16,700 men and horses do have an absolute advantage in numbers, although the equipment and strength are inferior, but there should be no problem in destroying them. The key now is time, and we can't afford to delay. After all, Li Yi's main army is in Xiangyang, and he may rush to the battlefield at any time. ”

"The enemy is weak, and they are very cunning, so I don't think they will do this. If nothing else, the vanguard army sent by Li Yi is less than 20,000 cavalry. Judging by the situation, they have no confidence in blocking our army, and they are ready to give up blocking at any time and fight a decisive battle with our army in Gangneung City. Wu Yi said with a smile, "The reinforcements from Changsha County will arrive soon, and according to General Zhang Ren's information, they will soon occupy Changsha County." Ling Bao and Liu Bi will lead their troops to set off from Zigui tomorrow, and all 300,000 of our army will approach Jiangling. As long as we settle in Gangneung, the whole of Namgun will be ours. ”

………………

Changban slope, located on the bank of the frustrated water, here the remaining veins of Jingshan Mountain, the east branch of the southward formation of the Gangling area, the ancient said "Dangyang Changsaka", or "Dangyang Ban".

Changbanpo became famous in later generations, mainly because Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, the two martial god-like existences, once exerted their might here, Zhao Yun saved Adou in the millions of Cao troops, and Zhang Fei was a husband in Changbanpo, and drank back millions of Cao troops.

But now none of these things have happened, and Nagasakapo is unknown.

In ancient times, this place was near Yunmengze, although the lake surface was deposited as land later, but it is still waterlogged today, and the water network is vertical and horizontal. Therefore, Changbanpo has been a necessary place for China's north-south transportation arteries since ancient times.

Gao Xianzhi flew off the horse, ran a few steps, grabbed Xue Rengui's big hand hard, and shook it again and again: "Rengui, if you don't come again, we will cross the east to the water." ”

Xue Rengui said with a smile: "I have already led the iron cavalry here, Brother Xianzhi still has the strength to fight again, how can he say that he is frustrated in Dongdu?" ”

"Liu Bei is powerful, and the Yizhou Army is indeed not to be underestimated. They have 150,000 horses ashore in Yiling one after another, and the next 100,000 horses are coming. Compared to them, we are too weak to fight back. Gao Xianzhi said a little discouraged.

Xue Rengui patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "There will always be a way." In the past, the lord led the army of Northern Xinjiang to fight in the south and the north, and defeated many powerful enemies, and many times they were not at an absolute disadvantage? Now, the main army of the lord has left Xiangyang, and it will arrive in ten days at most. You don't think that Liu Bei will still be our opponent at that time, right? ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled, and said in his heart that the lord is here, what am I afraid of Liu Bei, he is just a defeated subordinate of the lord, and he was driven all the way from Jizhou to Yizhou by the lord. But Liu Bei, this kid is really enough, he is simply the little strong who can't be beaten by the lord, he has been defeated all the way, and he has the strength he has now.

………………

Xue Rengui summoned the three generals of the Eighth Cavalry Corps to discuss the military situation.

Xue Rengui's opinion is very clear, the current gap with the strength of the Yizhou army is too far, and there is no chance of winning in a head-to-head battle. Referring to the tactics taught by the lord, it is nothing more than holding each other first, and then winning with strange tactics, and waiting for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with them after the troops reach a certain number. But now they can't even hold each other, and the troops can only blindly retreat, and this battle will be very difficult to fight.

Gao Xianzhi was immediately discouraged. He asked dejectedly, "No turnaround?" ”

Xue Rengui frowned tightly and said with a wry smile: "It's true." Even if there is a turnaround, we have to create it ourselves. To create this turnaround, we need troops. Without troops, it would be in vain to say anything. ”

………………

Xue Rengui led his troops to swim between the large mountains and forests and plains between the Great River and Fushui, striking at the enemy's supplies and small forces, and delaying the enemy's attack.

Liu Bei's troops repaired in Yiling for three days.

After setting out from Zigui, the 50,000 troops of the Yizhou Army marched down the river and landed at a small ferry on the opposite side of Yidao to effectively protect the right flank of the main force.

The 50,000 troops of the Yizhou army Liu Bi quickly moved north and took the small city of Linfu in one day. Immediately, the large army immediately marched eastward and quickly marched towards the Fushui River, preparing to capture Linfu County and effectively protect the left flank of the main force.

Lei Tong led an army of 5,000 as the front and marched in Xiaofang Mountain.

Xiaofang Mountain is still a hundred miles away from the Fushui River.

He was Liu Bi's subordinate, and according to the request, he had to rush to the Fushui River tomorrow morning. However, this place was already the scope of activity of the Northern Frontier Army, so Fang Leitong ordered the troops to act carefully and closely guard against the enemy's surprise attack.

Lei Tong received news that the Eighth Cavalry Corps of Xue Rengui, the general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, had crossed the Fushui River and was penetrating deep into the area around Yiling County, and it was necessary to be on guard against being attacked by his troops at all times. This man is good at attacking battles, and he is best at night attacks.

Lei Tong didn't take it to heart. He's getting angry. He was the first to attack Linfu City, and he thought that he could make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that before he reached the county office, Liu Bi's order came, and he immediately opened up.

Why can't you even catch a needle in the place you worked so hard to lay?!
