    As summer passes and autumn arrives, the scorching sun becomes even hotter.  ?? Liu Pi was wearing thick fish scale armor. Even if he stayed in the barracks, his back and clothes under the armor were soaked with sweat, and his body was soaked.  The temperature in the barracks is also very high. Most of the soldiers who are not on duty around are coming in and out shirtless, but I have to pay attention to my appearance. It is really tiring.  In the past, when I was a thief, I would wear clothes if I wanted to, and go shirtless if I wanted to. How could it be so troublesome?  It¡¯s just that now, as a captain of the Yuan Dynasty, I have to set an example in the army, so I can¡¯t be as casual as before.  It¡¯s really uncomfortable under the high temperature. It would be nice to have a heavy rain to cool down in this crazy weather.  Carrying a water bag and pouring a few mouthfuls of cold water down my stomach, I felt a little better, but I was impatient even sitting up and down, so I thought about the same situation at home in the barracks. What about the subordinates on duty on the tower under the scorching sun?  "My guards, send two more buckets of cold water to each tower!" After giving the order, Liu Pi felt that he couldn't stay in the barracks any longer, so he might as well go around and check around and get some fresh air.  The captain of the school had fifty personal guards, excluding the ten who delivered water. He also ordered the rest to prepare their horses and prepare to leave the camp again.  In such hot weather, the war horses were also very impatient. Some horses even raised their heads and resisted, refusing to leave the cool stables.  "Woo!" The two guards were still competing with the horses, but Liu Pi seemed to hear a horn horn in his ears, and shouted: "Stop!" Was it the high temperature that caused dizziness and hallucinations?  "Woo! Woo!" Two more sounds followed, but he no longer doubted it, and it was from the direction of the south city tower. Liu Pi suddenly jumped up in fright, and then roared: "Hey! Sound the horn, gather the troops!" It was safe.  It's been a long time, but there is an enemy situation today?  After Liu Pi gave the order, horn horns sounded immediately in the camp, and the same was true in Leibo camp in the distance.  First, looking at the soldiers who were still hurriedly putting on their armor and taking out their halberds, unable to gather their troops for the time being, Liu Pi impatiently yelled: "Everyone is assembled. Go to the defense area! Guard!"  , let¡¯s go!¡± The guards picked up their riding whips and whipped the resisting horses¡¯ necks hard several times, and then all the horses calmed down.  Everyone immediately mounted their horses and left the camp.  There weren¡¯t many people walking on the street under the high temperature. When horns sounded and horses¡¯ hooves rumbled everywhere, the few people scattered around to avoid them.  Liu Piyang whipped his horse and rushed ahead, shouting: "Avoid it! Avoid it!" The enemy situation came suddenly.  He was so anxious that he could not wait to rush to the south city tower immediately.  Xinye was the center where Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu raised his troops in the early stage. It was also the hometown of Deng Yu, the ancestor of the Deng family. Although it was only a small county, it had four gates.  Liu Pi and Lei Bo guarded Xinye, and stationed a group of troops at the top of each city. However, on weekdays, only one group of people from each group was left on the city. The rest mostly stayed in the military camp, and a few returned home after a break.  Like in the past, there is a halberd riding school in Nancheng.  The sound of a group of guns can handle ordinary incidents, but we are just afraid that the enemy will arrive unexpectedly and suddenly.  Fortunately, he led his bodyguards to rush to the south gate, and there was no sound of fighting yet.  Seeing that the city gate had been closed tightly, Liu Pi still felt nervous, so he quickly got off his horse and ran up the tower.  The two hundred generals who did not need to be on duty said anything else. As soon as they climbed onto the city wall passage, Liu Pi was still breathing heavily.  However, he could already see from the wall stacks that on the Guishui River due to the south, one after another stern warships were coming upstream with sails and oars.  Jingzhou Navy!  Presumably the river is not very wide and it would be difficult for larger boats to turn around. No trace of the boats was seen.  All those who came were sterns and boarded first. There were already seventy or eighty ships in sight, but the rear end of the fleet could not be seen yet.  After seeing the enemy's situation clearly, Liu Pi did not panic anymore and said to a guard who was following him: "Go to Wancheng and report to the general that Liu Biao's navy has invaded the north. We have arrived in Xinye!" "No!" The guard took the order.  , turned around and ran down again, took his own horse and headed out of the city through the north gate.  Liu Pi glanced at the flag fluttering backwards on top of the city and knew that at this time of year, the wind was still blowing from the southeast. Although the enemy ships were going upstream, they were following the wind and their speed was not too slow.  The Jingzhou Navy warships at the end of the line of sight are still moving towards Xinye.  Not long after, Lei Bo and Li Gui, the newly appointed magistrate of Xinye County, rushed to the Nancheng Tower to count the ships coming from Liu Biaojun.  The two military commanders guarding the south gate also gathered their troops and rushed to the tower.  "Nearly three hundred!" When the front fleet of Jingzhou Navy was two or three miles away from Xinye City, the warships behind finally stopped seeing each other. Li Gui quietly reported the number of enemy fleets, and then asked Liu Pi  : "Can I beat him?" This Li Gui, courtesy name Boyu, was an old man from Sizhou. Deng Ji had fought against him from among the Huns' horsemen.He was rescued by Luo Luo and others, but unfortunately his experience was very limited, and he was only appointed as the county magistrate until now.  Among the civil and military officials who defected to Deng Ji at the same time and for the same reason, only Han Hao was outstanding, and the rest were rarely rewarded for their political achievements: Chunyu Jue served as the magistrate of Gong County for many years, and it was not until the founding of the Yuan Dynasty that he was awarded the fourth rank of Hanoi County Magistrate due to his seniority.  Zhang Ye was originally the magistrate of Huayin County, but he abandoned his post and fled to Zhang Sheng during the Hanoi clan rebellion. Zhang Sheng committed suicide after his defeat; Chen Yu only became a fifth-rank official like Li Gui, and is now the magistrate of Chencang County.  The Huishui River is not as wide as the Jiang and Han Rivers, and too many ships will make it crowded. Zhang Liao and others have already deduced that if Liu Biao's navy marches north in large numbers, and Liu Pi and Lei Bo defend Xinye, they only need to delay it for a day or two until the Hengjiang army arrives.  Just upstream, a chain boat was used to carry firewood, and a fire was lit to burn it along the river.  Although Sun Guan's Hengjiang Army has not yet taken shape, people with hundreds of small boats can still be found.  Wancheng has men and horses from the three schools of Zhang Liao and Weilie Army, as well as the Hengjiang Army. The rest of the Hengye Army is in Shunyang, and the Xiaoqi Army is stationed in Luyang and Liang County. The minimum is two or three days, and the maximum can be more than ten days.  How can I not keep the sun?  Liu Biao wants to send troops to die!  Although Liu Biao's army was large, nearly 300 warships could transport at least 20,000 sergeants. As long as they were prepared, Liu Pi and Lei Bo were not afraid. When they heard Li Gui's question, they answered him in unison: "We are not afraid of the enemy."  ?" After saying that, Lei Bo sent another sergeant to report to Zhang Liao the approximate size of the enemy's army.  Li Gui asked again: "I heard that I am afraid that the gate will be broken by the car, and the defenders of the city should fill the door with sand and stones. Should I send people to do this?" Liu Pi shook his head: "Don't be anxious, wait and see!" However, the one under Liu Pi's command was named Li.  The healthy generals interjected: "There is no need to worry about the rest. Of course, we should guard against the rich people in the city secretly collaborating with foreign enemies!" Lei Bo nodded and said: "This is very true!" Liu Pi also realized that the newly occupied land in Nanyang,  The big clan had a close relationship with Liu Biao. After implementing the policy of the fourth class people, most of the big clan moved away, but some of them stayed. Although they have been separated and resettled, the ability to gather strength cannot be underestimated. If there is chaos in the city, bad things will happen.  .  After being awakened by Li Wubing, Liu Pi hurriedly sent people to convey orders to the north and east gates where the enemy had not yet appeared. He sent two halberds and cavalry soldiers to the city to assist the officers in patrolling to prevent chaos. He also asked Li Gui to mobilize the people.  Help defend the city.  Knowing that there were only two schools of soldiers defending Xinye City, the Jingzhou Navy swaggered and stopped two miles south of the city to disembark.  It took two hours to disembark more than 10,000 soldiers before setting up camp outside the city, and the warships stopped in the water.  It was already late noon when Liu Biao's warship was sighted. By the time we set up camp, it was almost dusk. I'm afraid the offensive and defensive battle would not begin until tomorrow.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???  Fortunately, Li Wubing reminded them that in the evening of the same day, the patrol officers found people gathering secretly near a house in the west of the city. They came up to ask questions, which immediately led to a fight.  Sure enough, the Wen family and the Ma family in the city had secret communications with Liu Biao and were preparing to cooperate internally and externally, but they were discovered early and not many people gathered together. More than ten people at the scene were quickly surrounded and killed by the soldiers who arrived.  When the incident was revealed, all the remaining fish that escaped the net fled home, closed the door tightly, and did not dare to go out again.  The officers led the soldiers to search for the remaining people from house to house. Anyone who dared to resist would be killed on the spot.  The person in charge was also captured. He was careless and was quickly interrogated. They planned to light fires all over the city at night to cause chaos for the Sizhou army, and then steal the west gate to help Liu Biao's army take the city.  Liu Biao's army was still far away from the city, and the movement of the people inside was not that big, and most of them could not be heard outside the city. Liu Pi suddenly had an idea, and Xun Lei Bo said, "We may be able to use his plan!"  After guaranteeing that the government temple would compensate all the houses that were not connected to the surrounding houses, they forcibly confiscated seven or eight houses, moved out the furniture and belongings, and set fire to them all at midnight.  Liu Pi and Lei Bo also ordered the soldiers to shout and fight wildly, and they put on the corpses of the thieves with soldiers' armor and displayed them under the west gate. The captured prisoners were also beheaded under the west gate.  Not long after, the west gate of the city was opened, and Liu Biao's general Lu Gongxian led his troops in. The remaining soldiers of Sizhou fled in panic and left the west gate. Only hundreds of internal soldiers dressed like ordinary people remained.  It was dark at this time. Lu Gong only used a torch to see the corpses, blood stains and discarded weapons on the ground. How to identify them in detail?  Hurry and lead the troops in.  As soon as his two thousand men entered, a trumpet sounded from behind, and all the soldiers who had led the way rushed into the houses beside the road to take shelter. Thousands of archers had already stood up on the city walls and on the roofs of the houses, shooting them with bows and arrows.  In despair, Lu Gong heard the roar of war horses again, and Liu Pi also led the cavalry of the Halberd Riding School to crush him.  The open west gate was closed again soon after. More than 2,000 people from Lu Gong's tribe entered the city, but no one survived.  Liu Pi and Lei Bo greatly defeated the Jingzhou soldiers that night, but they had to climb the tower in the morning to fight again.Look, overnight, Liu Biao's navy has lost most of its warships on the Feishui River.  The two of them were immediately frightened and confused, but Liu Biao's army outside the city had suffered a setback last night and just stayed in the camp and never attacked the city again.  In the evening of the same day, Zhang Liao quickly reported the arrival of Ma Xin. When he heard that Liu Biao's army was invading the north, he led his troops to aid Xinye. On the way, he suddenly received a report from Wenpin and Zhang Yun. The Xinye went through Tuankou into Tuanshui, a tributary of Tuishui River, and then passed through Tuosui into Nishui.  (Note), he got off the boat at Niyang, captured Niyang lightly, and then went to Wancheng. His army numbered 50,000. He was afraid that Sun Guanshui's army could not stop him, so he led his troops to rescue Wancheng.  One day after this news, Biyang County Magistrate also reported the news on horseback. Jiangxia Huangzu led Su Fei's troops to Wanjing 6 to kill him. He could only mobilize the people to hold on, but Su Fei's army circled the city and went directly to Wancheng.  The direction went.  Note: Tuanshui, today's Tuanhe River, a tributary of Baihe River, is named after the rapid flow of water in the upper reaches; Nishui, today's Zhaohe River, a tributary of Baihe River, flows into Tuanhe River and then flows into Baihe River in Xinye County.  (To be continued.)
