A road from south to north is lined with mountain peaks, which are not high, but the slope is not high, especially with some small trees as cover.

It is hundreds of miles from Xiangyang, but only twenty miles from Nagasaka.

According to the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei defeated Yu Changbanpo.

Liu Feng was stationed here, preparing to ambush and take Cao Ying's tiger and leopard to ride, and Yang Shengwei.

Four thousand troops were scattered on both sides, hiding behind small trees. In some places, countless rolling stones, logs were piled up.

Ordinary ambushes must be cautious and careful, and sometimes it may not be allowed to fire, and you can only eat dry food.

But Liu Feng was not afraid, this ambush was an ambush for Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride. When Liu Bei retreated to Changban Slope in defeat, he could just use him as bait.

Cao Chun chased after him, and he wouldn't be cautious at all.

When the time comes, the rolling stones fall and intercept the front road, it will be difficult for the cavalry to turn around, kill from both sides, and according to the benefits of the Chu sword, Cao Chun should be eliminated.

Because he had no scruples, Liu Feng ordered the soldiers to still bury the pot and cook rice, eat hot rice, and even brought countless dried meat and put it in water to cook. The aroma is enticing.

Eating can raise soldiers.

At this moment, it is noon. But because of the winter, it was still a little cold around, and Liu Feng and Kou Shui hid in a small cave on the hillside.

There was a fire in the cave, but Liu Feng was still wrapped in a thick coat.

Listening to the report of the spies.

"Lord, Cao Chun is in Xiangyang, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue sent the envoy to the north to Cao. And Liu Bei led the people all the way to the south, many scholars, the people followed, it has increased to 100,000, and the baggage is innumerable, and each day does not travel more than ten miles. The spies reported everything he knew.

"Hey, Liu Bei, Liu Bei. It's still so benevolent. Liu Feng sneered when he heard this.

In history, Liu Bei did this, which seemed to be benevolent, but in fact, he killed many people and died under Cao Jun's swordsmen. Coupled with the winter march, hundreds of people fell on the road.

At least tens of thousands of people died.

At this time, it is harmful. However, Liu Feng had to admit that Liu Bei also bought the hearts of many scholars by doing this, and in history, Ma Liang, Jiang Wan and many others joined Liu Bei and went south to Xiakou.

Now, though, history has changed.

Ma Liang, Jiang Wan and others had already thrown themselves into the arms of Jiangxia first, and Liu Feng dared to conclude that the people who followed Liu Bei were actually destined for Jiangxia.

Now that the situation has been decided, there are only two people who can stop Cao Ying. He and Sun Quan.

Liu Bei is not in the limelight.

In other words, Liu Bei took so many people in vain, no, maybe he could earn some fame.

Yes, Liu Feng sneered.

"Lord, the tiger and leopard riding is too powerful, Liu Bei is such a move, I am afraid that he will be caught up by the tiger and leopard riding, and the lady will be in danger." Kou Shui said worriedly.

"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded, and he was a little worried in his heart.

He was familiar with history and knew that Cao Chun would chase Liu Bei around Changban Slope, so he could find such a wonderful place to ambush in the north of Changban Slope.

But history, after all, is only a reference, because history has changed.

"Immediately send someone to contact Wu Shuang and ask him to take his wife as much as possible. If the situation is stable, let him stop here. If the situation is not right, let him drive the carriage, kill the guards who are watching, drag out of the brigade, and go directly south. With that carriage and four sturdy horses, it should be able to break through. Liu Feng raised his head and said to the spy.

"No." The spy nodded, and immediately obeyed the order.

After the spies left, there was a brief silence in the cave. After a while, Liu Feng said: "Order Deng Ai, Chen Da will lead the soldiers to step up their rest, because the five thousand tigers and leopards are about to come." ”

"It's also time to break the army and become famous in the world." Liu Feng said with a smile.

"No." Kou Shui also left as ordered.

After Kou Shui left, Liu Feng got up and came to the outside of the cave. The cold wind made Liu Feng shiver all over.

It's the depths of winter, and it's surprisingly cold.

Liu Feng sighed.

"My lord." The guards guarding the door saluted Liu Feng.

In the cold wind, the guards wore only one piece of clothing and leather armor. Although it is more straight to the sky, it is very straight. But his face was frozen red.

It's not that Liu Fengjun doesn't have a coat, it's just that these guards can only wear so little.

If you put on an overcoat, how do you fight?

"Put your clothes on. Now is not the time to fight, there can be no danger. Liu Feng said, and then said: "Wait a minute, tell Kou Shui that only two guards are stationed outside the cave, and the rest will go to rest." ”

"No." The guards answered.

The guards were full of respect for Liu Feng in their hearts, partly because of Liu Feng's compassionate words just now, and more because of Liu Feng's existence.

When Liu Feng used to be, His Majesty was not strict, but more lenient. But no one dared to discount Liu Feng's order.

Because this man is a victorious general, that's all.

Soldiers like to follow the victorious general, because it can save their lives and have more opportunities to make achievements. A victorious general can form a charm over time.

Especially Liu Feng, a general who has fought against famous generals in the world. Zhou Yu, Cao Ren, which one is not famous.

Isn't it defeated by General Yang Wu? General Yang Wu also personally beheaded Pan Zhang, a fierce general in Jiangdong.

If you talk about this war, the people who have the most confidence in Liu Feng are these soldiers. Especially the soldiers who are often by Liu Feng's side.

Because in their hearts, whoever comes, dies.

The respect of the soldiers is undisguised, and Liu Feng certainly sees it in his eyes.

However, it does not affect Liu Feng.

Neither pride nor modesty. Because for Liu Feng, only victory is what he needs. Keep your composure and win the war.

Liu Feng crossed the crowd and came to a stone rock and looked in all directions.

Here, bury Cao Chun, good.

Liu Feng smiled slightly, opened his arms, and his eyes were full of arrogance.

The reputation of the tiger and leopard riding the first in the world is about to change hands here.

Xiangyang, the city gate is open.

Outside the city, Cao Ying and hundreds of soldiers entered Xiangyang under the welcome of Jing Chu and important ministers led by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.

It indicates that Jingzhou, the most prosperous city, the city that Liu Biao has operated for more than ten years, as well as its power, have all been wiped out.

After Cao Ying, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others entered the city, they immediately went to Cai Mao's mansion.

In the past, Cao Ying and Cai Mao had an old relationship, and Cao Ying didn't want to enter Liu Cong's Zhennan General's Mansion, so he chose Cai Mao's mansion to be stationed.

After Cao Ying entered Cai Mao's mansion, he went into the backyard to meet Cai Mao's wife, and then went to the hall. Everything seems to be friendly.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's city government is also very deep, and they don't seem restrained, they seem very natural. However, the rest of the important ministers were a little restrained, and in front of Cao Ying, the top powerful man in the Han Dynasty, there was a kind of atmosphere that did not dare to take a breath.

Cao Ying sat on the top and looked at the two people sitting below. Suddenly, he asked with a smile: "I heard that Deqi has a daughter, which is very extraordinary." Why don't you see her? ”

This is knowingly asked.

Cai Mao sweated in her heart, but her face was quite calm, and she hugged her fists and bowed: "In the early years, Liu Feng sat in Jiangxia and had the merit of defending the land, I valued it very much in my heart, and married the little girl to him." I just don't want to, but now it's like this. That Liu Feng, the tired prime minister worked tirelessly to march south. Ay. ”

The previous Liu Feng was not a traitor, and he was also canonized by Cao Ying. Cai Mao's words are tantamount to brushing things off.

In fact, Cai Mao had already thought of the countermeasures, so he pretended to be a turtle. Just let the Cai family survive.

Cao Ying's face was unpredictable, and he looked at Cai Mao tightly, as if he wanted to see through Cai Mao's heart. Cai Mao greeted him, very calmly.

Suddenly, Cao Ying let out a loud laugh: "Haha, I don't know my heart if I know people." I didn't know that Liu Feng was such a traitor. ”

This laugh can be regarded as Cao Ying's attitude. I'm not going to pursue it.

In fact, how could Cao Ying not know Cai Mao's thoughts, in this era, the most unreliable thing is the big clan, and the clan concept is very heavy.

Standing tall in troubled times, multi-party investment is the best way. Cai Mao's approach did not exceed Cao Ying's bottom line. Of course, this also requires Cai Mao to be well-behaved, if she dares to collude with Liu Feng.

Cao Ying didn't mind having a slaughter clan to deter the Jingxiang clan.

Listening to Cao Ying's hearty laughter, Cai Mao was also relieved.

Cao Ying sat down in this hall, with guards on his side, and even more guards outside the door. And Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others also followed on both sides.

Soon after, Jia Xu arrived. glanced at the hall, full of Jing Chu and the ministers. Jia Xu came to Cao Ying's side, leaned over Cao Ying's ear and said, "The four city walls have been controlled by General Yu Ban, and the naval army has also been controlled by General Xu Huang. Xiangyang is in hand. ”

"Ordered Cao Chun to lead 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride south to pursue Liu Bei, and be sure to cut off his head and return. Another order was to go south and occupy Gangneung. Cao Ying said in a low voice.

"No." Jia Xu obeyed the order.

After Jia Xu left, Cao Ying's heart was relaxed. Raise your head and see the crowd full of ministers.

"I am very happy in my lonely heart." Cao Ying said with a smile.

"Congratulations to Gong Cao, Dangping Jingzhou, the unification of the world is waiting to be seen." The ministers bowed down.

Cao Ying ignored these horses, just turned his gaze to Kuai Yue, shook his head and smiled: "It's not like Jingzhou, but it's also about Kuai. ”

"Ming Gong raises love, Kuai Yue has nothing to repay, only effective death." Kuai Yue bowed to the ground, Dao.

Kuai Yue City is deep, and this worship is not flattering, nor does it seem abrupt.

Cao Ying knew that this was also a figure like Cai Mao, an old fox, who was difficult to enjoy. However, his fundamental purpose is not to be for Kuaiyue.

looked up at the ministers, and saw that most of the ministers' eyes were shining.

Cao Ying smiled slightly and said, "The gentlemen persuaded Liu Cong to be meritorious and should be rewarded." ”

Saying that, Cao Ying straightened his expression and said: "Liu Cong, the assassin of Jingzhou, has a high heart and a clean heart. Lone when the Son of Heaven is treated, with the history of Qingzhou Thorn. ”

Saying that, Cao Ying turned to Kuai Yue and said with a smile: "Kuai Yue is very talented, and now he can be in Jingzhou and seal Jiangling too much." ”

"Cai Mao has a strategy, he is the captain of Changshui, and he guards Xiangyang."

In this hall, Cao Ying sealed the ministers of Jing Chu. However, only Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, etc., who guarded Jingzhou, and the main Wang Cang, Fu Xun, Han Song, etc., did not enter the court as a servant, or entered the court as a minister. Stay away from Jingzhou.

This cut, the huge Kuai Yue, Cai Mao Group, was divided. Since then, Kuai Yue, although Cai Mao is famous, is still a big family. But there is no more power under his command.

Just ordinary rich people.

Cao Ying can tolerate Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, but he can't tolerate the power of the two. Kuai Yue and Cai Mao also know this.

So they were quite calm, without any displeasure or indignation.

Now, no matter what you do, the Kuai family and the Cai family will not fall, it depends on whether Liu Fengsheng or Cao Yingsheng wins.

In the east of Xiangyang City, a large number of soldiers either sat on the ground to rest, or took care of the war horses next to them. This is the first tiger and leopard to enter Xiangyang.

But Cao Chun did not order to camp and rest, but camped in the east of the city, waiting for Cao Ying's order.

Now Jingzhou is flat, but Liu Bei is on the run. With Cao Chun's understanding of Cao Ying, Cao Ying's order to chase and kill Liu Bei was about to be given.

And in the army, only his cavalry was the most reliable.

"General, the prime minister has an order, so that the general will lead five thousand cavalry to pursue Liu Bei." At this time, a herald came to Cao Chun's side and reported.

Cao Chun's face showed a hint of a smile, and then, he moved his hands, turned over the war horse, lifted a long knife, and shouted: "Divide five thousand people, and follow the general to the south to hunt down Liu Bei." ”

There were 20,000 people present, but Cao Ren's loud roar clearly reached the ears of the 20,000 tigers and leopards.

Immediately, five thousand were divided.

The leader is a strong and fierce general, one of the four partial generals under Cao Chun's account, named Zhao Fang.

The tiger and leopard cavalry has an establishment of 20,000 people, and in addition to Cao Chun, there are also four permanent generals. Command the army separately.

"This time, you must cut off Liu Bei's head and set off." Cao Chun raised the big knife in his hand, roared, and galloped south on his war horse.

Behind him, 5,000 tigers and leopards rode behind, followed him, and galloped south. The tiger and leopard ride dominates the world, and the cavalry and war horses are all first-class.

5,000 cavalry, but 10,000 horses, one man and two horses. Nearly 10,000 war horses galloped, and the sound of horses' hooves was like the war drums, shocking people's hearts at the same time.

It can cause a massive tremor of the land and make the enemy scare.

The high-quality war horse has a strong explosive power, because there are two horses, and the staying power is also very strong. Cao Chun pursued hundreds of miles in an instant.

At this time, on both sides of the road, there were some scattered people.

Cao Chun knew that Liu Bei was going south, and more than 100,000 people followed. These must be the people who can't keep up. Cao Chun didn't care about them, and galloped directly past and continued south.

Jingzhou, near the place where Liu Feng was ambushed. Liu Bei's first army has arrived.

"Lord, it's too slow to move now, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Calcium City. Why don't you abandon the people and go south to Calcium City first. In the army, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei hard.

"If you abandon it now, will it not be ruined? Even if we encounter Cao Ying's pursuers, we are not afraid, as long as we escape. Liu Bei was determined to regain his reputation and refused.

"Hey." Zhuge Liang sighed.

"Order the soldiers to hurry up and rest over the Nagasaka slope." Liu Bei is very familiar with Jingzhou, and he knows everything in front and behind, and knows that there is a Changban slope not far ahead.

Take a break.
