"What?" In Mianzhu City, Liu Zhang was extremely surprised when he saw Yang Huai fleeing back in embarrassment. Then when he heard that Jingzhou had reoccupied Jiangyou, he was even more furious. "You mean Liu Qi is in Jiangyou?" Liu Zhang looked gloomy and looked at Yang Huai with annoyance in his eyes. Although he knew in his heart that this place was not the key to victory or defeat, the 200,000-strong army suffered repeated losses in front of Jingzhou. , still dissatisfied. "Then Liu Qi and Huang Zhong attacked from front to back, and the general was unprepared, which led to Jiangyou's defeat. Please forgive me, my lord." Yang Huai was already sweating faintly on his forehead at this time. "Haha, you are unprepared?" Liu Zhang squinted his eyes and smiled. He knew that Yang Huai would shirk, but such a poor excuse really made him laugh. "Then in your opinion, if Jingzhou goes to attack Jiangyou, do you still need to get permission from you?" Liu Zhang said coldly when the conversation changed. "The general will not dare!" Yang Huai hurriedly knelt down in the tunnel and said. When everyone around saw Yang Huai like this, they all sneered and said nothing. Yang Huai and Gao Pei had the same temperament, and they thought they had some ability and ignored everyone. The last time this person received Liu Zhang's secret order, within an hour The capture of Jiangyou stole the show. Unexpectedly, things were so unpredictable that they would be in such a mess just a few days apart. Seeing Yang Huai kneeling on the ground, everyone looked on with cold eyes without any intention of interceding. Huang Quan looked at the situation above the main hall calmly, without the slightest worry in his eyes. It was the time to hire people, and Yang Huai's status in Liu Zhang's heart was not low. Even if Liu Zhang was angry, it would not be possible. Yang Huai was severely punished. Zheng Du on the side looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, but frowned. Everyone under Liu Zhang was not united. Now that Yizhou is trying its best to fight Jingzhou, any failure may have serious consequences, and these people are still plotting against each other for their personal preferences and grudges. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Outside Shangyong City, Yan Yan led his 10,000 soldiers and horses to quietly appear in the dense forest outside Shangyong City. Under the leadership of Yan Yan, the whereabouts of the army were kept very secretive. Until he appeared not far from Shangyong City, he was not discovered by Shangyong¡¯s scouts. After listening to the scout's report, Yan Yan fell into deep thought. He had never heard of Li Hui's order, but to be appointed as Shangyong Prefect, he must be an intelligent person. Such a person should have some reputation in Yizhou. , why haven¡¯t you heard of it? Moreover, according to the news from the scouts, Li Hui ordered the soldiers and horses of Shangyong County to be concentrated in Shangyong City a few days ago. It seems that it was precisely to prevent the Yizhou army from sneak attacks. Could it be that someone in Jingzhou saw the Lord's intention? , Yan Yan couldn't help but secretly guess. He was confident of a sneak attack on Shangyong. He could only succeed in a sneak attack when Jingzhou was unprepared. However, if Shangyong was prepared, it would be difficult for his 10,000 troops to succeed. "After all, now that we are here, how can we return empty-handed? Even if Jingzhou discovers the master's intention, he must give it a try." With a decision in his heart, Yan Yan did not hesitate anymore. He turned around and looked at a young general beside him and said, "Order the army to rest and launch an attack at five o'clock." Time passed quickly, and the sky was extremely dark without the moonlight. Under Yan Yan's eyes, Under the order, the army ran out of dry food and quickly assembled towards Shangyong City. The alert in Shangyong City was more than ten times higher than usual. After receiving the news from Yizhou, Li Hui was always on guard against Yizhou's sneak attacks. The land of Shangyong is located between Yizhou and Jingzhou. It is an important place for transshipment of grain and grass, and there must not be any mistakes. Countless torches are lit on Shangyong City, illuminating the entire Shangyong City Wall. You can even see places outside the city. If you used the moonlight in the past, you could even see the situation in places far outside the city. In the dark night, Yan Yan led ten thousand soldiers and horses to quietly approach the city. The situation in Shangyong City made Yan Yan extremely cautious and did not dare to be careless in the slightest. The army gradually approached the city. Suddenly several torches were dropped from the city tower. As the torches were thrown down, several soldiers on the city tower looked at the situation outside the city vigilantly. "What is that?" Under the illumination of the fire, several soldiers could only vaguely see countless figures rushing towards this side. The next moment, there was chaos on top of the city tower. The exclamations of more than ten soldiers immediately attracted the attention of the guard of the city tower, and the rapid sound of horns sounded, which could be clearly heard throughout Shangyong City. "What's going on? Where's the horn sound?" Li Hui, who had just fallen asleep, hurried out as soon as he heard the horn sound before he had time to put on his clothes. "Master Qi, just nowA horn sound suddenly sounded at the door, and the subordinates didn't know what happened. " "Order the army in the city to assemble immediately and rush to the city gate. "After hearing the report from his subordinates, Li Hui's expression changed slightly. Could it be that Yizhou soldiers and horses really came to attack him? He didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly picked up his clothes and rushed towards the city gate. By the time Li Hui arrived at the city gate When they arrived, there were already shouts of killing on the city tower. Yan Yan was not worried at all, but stepped up to urge the soldiers to attack the city. A Jingzhou soldier climbed up the city tower on a ladder and fought with the Jingzhou soldiers. When the Jingzhou soldiers on the city tower discovered Yizhou soldiers and horses, they had already prepared city defense equipment. Under Li Hui's order these days, Shangyong City's defense situation was extremely complete, and a large number of city defense equipment was transported to It was placed on the city tower to guard against sneak attacks by Yizhou soldiers and horses. When Li Hui caught up with the city, the soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely. Looking at the soldiers who were fighting fiercely, Li Hui ordered the soldiers and horses in the city to be moved to the city tower. While supporting, he personally commanded the army to defend the city. He took the sword from a soldier. The sword in Li Hui's hand was not incompatible with the Confucian robe on his body. Li Hui stepped forward to the edge of the city wall with the sword in hand and began to look at the city. Li Hui was very familiar with the armor of Yizhou soldiers, so he recognized these soldiers and horses at a glance. "It's him!" "Suddenly, Li Hui's eyes focused on Yan Yan, and his face was more solemn than ever. Although Yan Yan's reputation is not as big as Yang Huai's, his prestige in Brazil even vaguely surpasses Yan Yan. In Li Hui's view, Come on, if Yan Yan hadn't been older, his reputation would have even surpassed that of Yang Huai. This time it was Yan Yan who attacked Shangyong. Li Hui took a deep breath and began to think about how to do it. Defend Shangyong. At this time, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Shangyong City, but there were nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou. And with the Yizhou general personally commanding the troops, Li Hui thought that he was under Yan Yan's command. The city can be defended under the attack, but it is already the limit to be able to hold on for half. Moreover, it is not certain whether there are so many soldiers and horses from Yizhou, so Li Hui does not dare to be careless at all. City, Zitong and Xiangyang. " After pondering for a moment, Li Hui ordered: What he needs to do is to delay as much time as possible to prevent Yizhou soldiers and horses from attacking the city. As for how to make a decision, it still depends on the situation in Wancheng, Xiangyang and even Zitong. According to him As we know, Zitong's Jingzhou army is also in a bad situation at this time. Since Yizhou can send Yan Yan to attack Jingzhou, can he also send others to attack Jingzhou? ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Just when Yan Yan was sneaking a sneak attack on Shangyong, Zhang Renzheng, who had disappeared for a long time, was leading 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses in a rapid march. The purpose of this trip was to attack Wuling. , Yan Yan captured Shangyong and cut off the connection between Jingzhou and Yizhou, leaving Liu Qi's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses isolated and helpless, and severely crushed Jingzhou's soldiers and horses with 200,000 soldiers and horses. Zhang Ren's goal is the entire four counties in Jingnan. Although the four counties in Jingnan are not the core of the entire Jingzhou, they are related to the stability of the entire Jingzhou. As long as one or two of the four counties in Jingnan are captured, The entire Jingzhou collapsed immediately, and it was impossible to support the entire Jingzhou with just the Xiangyang counties. Compared to Yan Yan, Zhang Ren was even more cautious. Although Wang Can has always been low-key, his name has long been known to the world. , Wang Can made this statement, and Zhang Ren had no doubts about his intelligence and ability. Such a person could serve as Liu Biao's staff for several years without any pretense. Zhang Ren valued this calmness alone, and he had already appointed someone. I have inquired about Wang Can's behavior after arriving in Wuling. Although there were no major changes, he managed the entire Wuling in an orderly manner, and he acted very calmly. Although he was a little worried, he could not make mistakes or find excuses. But Zhang Ren didn't have too many worries. After all, Wang Can was a scholar. What he had shown before was only his illustrious reputation in the literary world, and this statement was also made possible by Cai Yong and others. Although his performance after arriving in Wuling was remarkable, in his eyes he was just average. "General, Linyuan is in front of us. There are two thousand soldiers and horses from Jingzhou, but these two thousand people are passing by. The soldiers and horses left over from several fierce battles were all elite. The other soldiers and horses were scattered by Wang Can in various counties in the county to guard against the bandits, bandits and foreign tribes in the army. "Beside Zhang Ren, a soldier dressed as a mountain man bowed and said. "Well, how is the defense in the city? "Zhang Ren asked. "?Although the defense in the city has been improved compared to before, there is not much difference. It only doubled the manpower and rebuilt the original dilapidated city wall. Even the other defensive equipment was replaced. Not complete. " The soldier dressed as a mountain man was stunned for a moment, and then said easily. " He nodded and felt that there was nothing strange about it. Wuling County is located at the junction of two states. There are many mountain bandits of different races. Mountain bandits and foreign races often raise troops to cause trouble. Once, even the prefect of Wuling was killed, which made sense given the situation in Wuling County. After figuring out the situation in Wuling County, Zhang Ren began to think secretly about how to capture Wuling quickly.
