Ji Teng Mountain.

It belongs to the junction of Hanshou County and Changsha City, on a lesser-known mountain, which is the only way from Changsha to Xiangyang.

This place in Hanshou County, in the late Han Dynasty, was not very famous, after all, it was only a small county town, and the only thing recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms was that the famous Guan Yu, his title was the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

Hanshou is a fief, and Tinghou is a title.

This Hanshou is Guan Yu's fiefdom, of course, it's just a false name, Guan Yu is afraid that he has never even been to this small place.

But Guan Yu has not been there, Liu Zheng doesn't know, Liu Zheng himself has arrived anyway, the county seat of Hanshou County is not big, originally he was not called Hanshou County, but Suo County, and later changed to Hanshou County a few decades ago.

The word Hanshou is the meaning of "the Han Dynasty has no borders", but unfortunately, the meaning is very good, but it is not too realistic at all, as far as Liu Zheng knows, the Han Dynasty in history will soon come to an end.

Hanshou County is close to Dongting Lake, most of the county, there are only two city walls, and there are no city walls on both sides, just by the water. It is a port-type county seat.

When Liu Zheng passed by boat here, he didn't go in to have a look, but according to the news sent by Gan Ning and Wen Ping, he directly took people to Ji Tengshan.

The reason why Ji Tengshan is called Ji Tengshan is also related to a celebrity in history, this person is Ji Bu.

"It's better to get a hundred catties of gold than to get Ji Bu Yinuo." The idiom of a promise is derived from this, and legend has it that Ji Bu once lived in seclusion in this mountain, so this place was later called Ji Teng Mountain.

As for the truth or falsehood, there is naturally no way to know, but Liu Zheng heard it from the mouths of the local people, and he just smiled faintly, and did not delve into it at all.

After all, Ji Bu was a figure hundreds of years ago, even if it was true, Liu Zheng wouldn't care.

Under the guidance of the local people, they quickly found the location of Ji Tengshan, and then took over with Wen Ping and Gan Ning's soldiers and horses.

At the time of the joint, Wen Ping Zheng led the battle on the front line, Cai Mao sent people to launch a round of charge again, 30,000 troops rushed over, Wen Ping's men and horses, with the help of geographical advantages, completely resisted, and forced Cai Mao and others to repel the charge.

After Cai Mao lost thousands of soldiers and horses, he had no choice but to retreat.

It's not that Cai Mao can't break through the canyon guarded by the 20,000 troops of Wenpin and Gan Ning, but once Cai Mao breaks through the encirclement of Wenpin and Gan Ning at all costs, he will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the 40,000 elites he brought out from Changsha City are afraid that most of them will be lost here.

If this is the case, even if you get out of the siege and come to Xiangyang, there are no soldiers and horses, what to do to support Xiangyang, and when you arrive in Xiangyang, you are only besieged by Liu Zheng in Xiangyang, waiting to be killed.

That's why Cai Mao is worried about Xiangyang's affairs, but she has to be trapped in Ji Tengshan, and there is no way.

Although Changsha has 70,000 soldiers and horses, more than 10,000 of them are improvised township warriors, and their combat strength is lost, and the defense of the city is still insufficient, so how can they be dispatched to support Xiangyang.

The men and horses that can be dispatched are 20,000 people from Nanjun who came to support Changsha, and at the same time, Cai Mao himself transferred 20,000 people from Changsha County to form 40,000 soldiers and horses.

After all, Changsha City also needs to be defended, and it is impossible to transfer all the men and horses in Changsha City.

Cai Mao led his soldiers and horses to fight Wenpin's army in the valley of Ji Teng Mountain for four or five rounds.

Each charge caused some damage to his men and horses, and now only more than 20,000 of the 40,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded.

But he still didn't break through the defense organized by Gan Ning and Wen Ping.

The more this happened, the more Cai Mao became anxious and more worried about the situation in Xiangyang.

Ji Tengshan, Cai Mao camp.

"General Zhang Yun, how is it, why did our army withdraw again?"

In this attack, Cai Mao did not play in person, but was led by Liu Biao's nephew Zhang Yun to charge.

If he is not Liu Biao's nephew, I am afraid that he is not qualified to be a general at all, his ability is not as good as Cai Mao, although Cai Mao's ability to command soldiers and horses is not strong, but Cai Mao has been marching and fighting for more than ten years, and his experience is always there.

"Damn, the army of Wen Ping is extremely ferocious, every time our army charges, it is in vain, although it can disperse the first wave of enemy troops, but the people behind will immediately rush up without fear of death, and scatter some of the advantages we just occupy, we have spent thousands of soldiers and horses, but we can do useless work with the enemy here."

Zhang Yun is the most worried about Xiangyang, because Xiangyang is Liu Biao's base camp, Liu Biao is his uncle, he can have today, all thanks to Liu Biao, if Liu Biao is dead, then he Zhang Yun will have nothing, so Zhang Yun wants to attack Wenpin as soon as possible, defeat these enemy troops, and go to Xiangyang to support.

Zhang Yun replied angrily, and Cai Mao's face became even more ugly.

"Now that so many days have passed, not only have we not come to Xiangyang to support, but we are still surrounded here, what should we do?"

"My lord, I said earlier that I would bypass Ji Tengshan and go by water, after all, the waterway is the fastest way to reach Xiangyang, but you didn't listen, now not only can you not find so many ships, but also surrounded by enemy troops, you can't advance or retreat, now it's okay."

After Kuai Yue heard the conversation between Zhang Yun and Cai Mao, he was angry, as a member of the army, in fact, he had already put forward the idea of taking the waterway a few days ago, but Cai Mao said that he couldn't get enough ships for a while, and the ships of the 40,000 army were not a small number, and when the ships were ready, the daylilies were all lit up.

That's why Cai Mao insisted on going by land.

However, they did not expect that on land, there would be soldiers and horses of Wen Ping and Gan Ning to intercept them.

At the beginning, in fact, only Gan Ning's soldiers and horses intercepted here in Ji Tengshan, and later, Wenpin's men and horses also came to support, and only a thousand people were left in Changsha.

Ji Tengshan has become the main battlefield.

On the side of Ji Teng Mountain, if you make a detour, a mountain range, it will take seven or eight more days to get to Xiangyang, and in seven or eight days, when they arrive in Xiangyang, it will be too late, and they may face the pursuit of Gan Ning and Wenpin, so after thinking about it, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun decided to fight with the army of Gan Ning and Wenpin here.

After all, they also know that the enemy army only has 20,000 people, but they have 40,000 people, and if they can't defeat it, then they won't have much effect in supporting Xiangyang.

It's also that they are too confident, and as soon as they fight, their disadvantages are highlighted.
