Liu Yan accepted Mu Jing's advice, gave up the pursuit of the Jingzhou army, and let the army begin to recuperate.

Ten days later.

At this time, the Yizhou army has been reorganized, although the combat effectiveness may not be restored to all, but it has also recovered six or seven percent, at this time the Yizhou army defeated Jingzhou is still in the momentum, it is a good time to send troops.

The army was immediately launched, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, all the way to the north, to seize the entire territory of Nanjun, all the way to the east, to press Changsha, Jiangxia, all the way to the south, to capture Wuling County, and the three roads marched together to begin a comprehensive attack on Jingzhou County.

Xiangyang City and Jingzhou City were successively captured by the Yizhou army, which was an incomparable shock to the people of the entire Jingzhou, Nanjun is the core of Jingzhou, and it is also a gathering place for scholars.

In troubled times, it is human nature for good birds to choose trees to perch.

Liu Biao has not been based in Jingzhou for a few years, so he has not established a lot of prestige, and there are not many wealthy families who are willing to fight to the death for him, but more for themselves.

Therefore, these noble families are secretly ready to move, and they have even begun to send people to contact Yizhou.

On 7 August, Zhang Ren led his army along the Jiangdong and lined up Chen soldiers outside the county seat of Gong'an, but after less than two days of siege, the county commander and the county lieutenant of the county seat of Gong'an raised their troops and surrendered, and they took this important passage of the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River without blood.

This momentum has greatly increased the arrogance of the Yizhou army.

It also dealt a heavy blow to the defeat of the Jingzhou army.

Pang Xi led the army north to Nanjun, and in less than a month, he had already taken all the western part of Nanjun, Dangyang, Yicheng, Linqi, and Bianxian...... Everywhere I went, there was almost no resistance, and even if there were, it was only sporadic resistance, and there was not much damage to the main force, and these counties had already been taken.

At the same time, Liu Yan also ordered the herdsmen of Xiangyang to benefit from the state moderation, and immediately sent troops from Xiangyang to the east of Nanjun, and the main force of Jingping's Second Army under the leadership of Zhang Liao took the lead in attacking Caiyang.

Jingzhou general Deng Long's troops were stationed in Caiyang, and in the face of the general trend of this black cloud overwhelming, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops along the river, withdraw from Caiyang, and retreat to the Jiangxia army.

The herdsman army won the momentum and began to divide its troops to the south, successively seizing Zhonglu, Yanguo, Jingling, and Huarong...... The soldiers pressed the green forest mountain and approached Jiangxia County.

At this point, the entire territory of Nanjun has been taken.

At the same time, Yan Yan also led the soldiers and horses of the main force of Ba County to march south, it was the wind and rain march, the strong attack on Wuling County, Wuling's county commander and other officials, suddenly heard of the defeat of Nanjun, and was in a panic, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and they would have no fighting will.

In the face of the attack of the strong Bajun soldiers, they often came to the city, opened the city to welcome the guests, and surrendered one after another.

Yan Yan was like a bamboo, city after city, successively taken, by the beginning of September, he had captured the capital of Wuling, Linyuan City.

Wuling was too guarded and fled, and the captain of Wuling raised his troops and surrendered.

In mid-September, the twelve counties of Wuling were all surrendered to Yizhou, and Yan Yan was not satisfied, and led his troops eastward to approach Lingling County. …………………………………………………………

Jiangxia County.

Xiling City.

Liu Biao knelt on the high seat, his pupils were like bloodshot, his expression showed a hideous appearance, and he shouted in his exhaustion: "How can this be, why are they, why!!! ”

The defeat of Jingzhou City, he was already prepared.

So when the news came, although he was a little disappointed, he was not very angry, of course, he was still a little angry about the details of the battle of Jingzhou City, angry at Cai Mao's stupidity, and gave Jingzhou City in vain.

After getting angry, he calmed down, and did not punish Cai Mao too much, he also specially ordered Cai Mao to camp dozens of miles in Chibi and other places, relying on Jiangxia and Changsha as a basis to establish a defensive line, he firmly believed that if the Yizhou army dared to kill from Chibi, then they would encounter a strong resistance.

But then, one bad news after another, he was really angry.

He has worked hard to run Jingzhou for several years, but this Jingzhou is like a pile of mud and sand, as if he can't stand a little wind and rain, as long as there is a little wind and rain, it will be shattered.

You must know that the land of Nanjun and Wuling County, dozens of cities, thousands of miles, even if you receive these cities, it will take a long time, and I am afraid that you will not be able to do it in a year and a half.

But now, Yizhou has all been captured in a short period of time.

These guys who see the wind and rudder the rudder.

flattered him on weekdays, but when he saw the Yizhou army pressing the city, he didn't resist at all, and most of them surrendered in Kaesong, which was like a sharp long knife that pierced his heart.

He trusted the Jingzhou Shi clan and trusted the Jingzhou gate valve, but in the end, he was ruthlessly inserted behind his back.

"Lord, I can't blame them for this matter!"

Kuai Liang seems to be a little older, during this period of time, in order to integrate Jiangxia's resources, he worked hard, but also worried about whether the Xiangyang family would be slaughtered, exhausted, naturally a lot of old people, he arched his hand and said: "Mulongtu is ahead of Lumen Mountain, forcing the three Confucians, to take a stand, Sima Gong, Pang Gong, Huang Gong three people were forced to helpless, not allowed to intervene in the Jingzhou Campaign, but also led some changes in Shilin, some scholars are even more suspicious of us, at this time Yizhou raised a strong army and pressed the city, They are not willing to fight to the death for our Jingzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, maybe they can! ”

"I know!"

Liu Biao said faintly: "But a certain is unwilling, I thought that Jingzhou is deep, even if it is defeated for a while, as long as the upper and lower hearts are united, drag them Yizhou Army into the quagmire, there will be a day of defeat into victory, Nai when the situation is defeated quickly, it is unbelievable, now that Nanjun Wuling has been lost, half of Jingzhou will go, and it will also let the Yizhou Army stand firm in Jingzhou, and we are in danger!" ”

"Definitely!"

Kuai Liang shook his head: "Lord, you are still too pessimistic, although the Yizhou army has broken through Xiangyang Jingzhou City and captured the two counties of Jingzhou, and the army is strong, but it is just a flash in the pan!" “

He handed over a bamboo tube: "This is the news I found from Yizhou!" ”

"News from Yizhou?"

Liu Biao opened it, looked at it, and his pupils changed slightly: "Does he Liu Junlang really have such ambitions?" ”

What this news says is: The state pastoral mansion has a jade seal of the country, and in addition, today some people secretly built more than 1,000 car equipment, built altars and outside the capital, and embroidered brocade dragon robes!

These are the emperor's guards of honor.

Liu Yan's ambition is already about to come out.

"Where did he get the jade seal of the country?"

Liu Biao gritted his teeth and asked.

"Don't forget, the lord still has a Ming Marquis by his side, when the pastor Xiangguo was in charge of the imperial court, the jade seal of the country was at his fingertips, after the new emperor Chang'an ascended the throne, there was never a seal of the jade seal of the country under the holy decree, which is enough to prove that the jade seal has been lost!"

Kuai Liang said softly: "When the Ming Marquis entered Hanzhong, Liu Yan ignored it, but he couldn't see the disaster of the Ming Marquis, I am afraid that there was a deal in secret, and the checks and balances were released, and it was easy for him to make a living!" ”

"With this jade seal in hand, he can be famous all over the world!" Liu Biao clenched his fists, and his eyes lit up hunting: "This fang defeats my two counties in Jingzhou again, and his voice is bound to climb to the peak, he wants to be the emperor!" ”

"Only by analyzing it in this way can it be explained that Liu Yan will raise the soldiers of Yizhou to destroy my Jingzhou at any cost!"

Kuai Liang said: "He needs fame and prestige!" ”

"He doesn't think about it!"

Liu Biao gritted his teeth, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"My lord, this is a good thing!"

"A good thing?" Liu Biao is unknown.

"Now Yizhou is powerful, out of the land of Bashu, like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven, the general trend is difficult to suppress, if he becomes the target of the public at this time, it will cause the heroes to be strangled, and the army will inevitably be defeated like a mountain!"

Kuai Liang arched his hand and said: "We should treat him as the whole!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Biao suddenly woke up: "The Son of Heaven is still here, and the princes are like kings, how can they tolerate a new emperor who is overwhelming the world!" ”

As he spoke, he laughed: "He Liu Junlang wants to achieve hegemony, why not do it!" “
