"What about Liu Biao and Cao's? Cao Ren was defeated, and the Cao army in Nanyang counties suffered a great loss, such a good opportunity... No matter how jealous Liu Biao is of Cao Cao, he won't do nothing, right? ”

Liu Biao is certainly weak, but if he really wants to treat Liu Biao as a fool, it can only show that he is stupid.

Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, Jiangdong Sun, Northern Cao... In the face of these increasingly powerful forces, the seven counties of Jingzhou are still rich and healthy, and Liu Jingsheng is still firmly in control of Jingzhou's military and politics. How can it be as unbearable as the world rumors?

It's more or less better than Liu Zhang!

"That's right! Liu Biao did make a move, after all, in the past few years that Liu Bei has lived in Xinye... Uncle Liu's benevolence, love for the people, and the reputation of Corporal Lixian became more and more resounding in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao couldn't help but react. ”

Referring to the people's praise for Liu Bei, Yang Ang couldn't help but laugh, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.

On the one hand, I am afraid of Liu Biao's jealousy, and on the other hand, I am not willing to be lonely... In the name of the imperial uncle of the Han family, fake benevolence and false righteousness to win people's hearts?

And no wonder... The Lord Guild calls it the Big-Eared Thief!

"The counties of Nanyang originally belonged to Liu Biao's jurisdiction, just because of Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, Cao... It has been invaded and occupied, and the counties of Nanyang have changed hands several times.

But... Although the rulers of Nanyang have changed several times, but Liu Jingsheng, the heart of Nanyang counties, is by no means a few, in the past, there were strong armies from all sides to suppress, these people naturally did not dare to make a mistake, but with the defeat of Cao Ren, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out, the defenders of Nanyang counties were empty, and those hearts were towards the Han family... With the secret cooperation of these people, Cao Ren's army was defeated for a few days, under the conquest of the Jingzhou army dominated by Wenpin, Biyang, Anzhong, Nieyang, Suixian, and Champion counties fell successively, occupied by Liu Jingsheng, plus the previous territory, only Liu Jingsheng conveniently occupied half of the cities in Nanyang.

Tens of thousands of troops are waiting for you... It is indeed extraordinary and terrifying. ”

"If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, I'm afraid Wen Ping would have led the army to recover all the lands of Nanyang..."

This is Jingzhou's confidence, with more than 200,000 armor up and down... This is not counting the county soldiers of the four counties of Jingnan, the soldiers are sharp... The sailor is vertical and horizontal, but it is beyond the reach of Hanzhong.

"So... Wen hires soldiers to take Fang Ling? ”

frowned... Peng Yi's expression was a little heavy, even in Yizhou, he had heard of the prestige of Wen Ping.

The armies of Jingzhou, the sailors first recommended Cai and Huang, but this infantry army... There is no doubt that Wenpin is outstanding.

Wen Ping Wen Zhongye, this is a famous general who is not weaker than Zhang Ren... Reggie.

Compared with Liu Bei, who is concerned about the lack of soldiers and food... The newly defeated Cao army has tens of thousands of troops... The well-fed clerk is undoubtedly a difficult role.

"That's right... For Jingzhou, whether it is Shangyong or Fangling, it is a thorn hanging on Jingxiang's forehead. Now it has moved to Zhuyang, these days... There have been many Jingzhou sentinels in Fangling. ”

When it comes to Wenpin, Yang Ang and Han Bin have a little more bitterness in their eyes

In the past, if Wen Ping led the army to attack, it would not be without a turnaround, as long as he held on to the danger and waited for reinforcements.

But now, Fangling's troops have been greatly damaged, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the time, people and people have gone to the second... Wenpin will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

"Zhuyang... How much does it mean to support the army? Have you ever found out? ”

Although the five counties of Biyang and Champion are attached to the people, after all, when Fang returns to Jingxiang's rule, it is indispensable to stay behind to garrison the troops... In this way, the tens of thousands of civil servants may be divided into one-and-a-half...

"There are 10,000 infantry troops, 3,000 war horses..."

"Are there still 10,000 foot soldiers?"

His eyes sank, and Peng Yi suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders, and the snow covered the sky... The threat of 3,000 horsemen has been greatly reduced.

But... The footmen under the command of Wen Ping can definitely be called the most in Jingxiang and even in the south of the Yangtze River, far from the three melons and two dates under the command of Pang Yi of Brazil... Most of the tens of thousands of "armies" cobbled together by young and strong people can be compared.

"Take the map!"

At this time, Peng Yi naturally lost his appetite, pushed the so-called wine and delicacies aside, and ordered someone to take the map around Fangling... I looked down and looked closely.

"Xinye Liu Bei... What is the movement of the Cao army in Nanxiang and Wudang? Have you ever raised troops to move forward? ”

"Liu Bei did not show his intention to go west, and now the army under his command is firmly guarding Wancheng and Xinye, and even Guan Yu, who often sits in Guzi City, was called back to Xinye some time ago, and Guzi City is just Guan Yu's righteous son at the moment... Guan Ping led an army of 800 to garrison. ”

"As for... Cao Jun..."

Looking at Peng Yi, who was looking down at the map, Yang Ang hesitated slightly.

"Hmmm! What happened to Cao Jun? ”

Listening to the silence for a long time, Peng Yi raised his head with some doubts... Judging from the performance of Fang Cai Yang Ang, and his control and understanding of the surrounding forces, he does have the qualifications to become a "general".

The Cao army, which threatened Fangling, came from the western counties of Nanyang at most... Yang Ang has been sitting in Fangling for many years, how can he not be familiar with it?

"This..."

"It's better for Mr. to solve his doubts!"

Looking at Yang Ang's embarrassed expression, Han Bin patted Yang Ang's shoulder and arched his hand towards Peng Yi and said.

"In fact, it's no wonder that General Yang is like this, don't hide it, although Fang Ling and the Cao family had a dispute in the past, but at best it was a small fight, today you plunder my pigs and cattle, tomorrow I will rob your population, and the situation is also relaxed.

Can... Some time ago, on the way to Wancheng, General Yang defeated several stragglers of Cao's army..."

"Oh! Could it be that among these stragglers, which of the Cao family's important ministers is the heir or relative? ”

Hearing Han Bin's words, Peng Yi only felt that his scalp was a little numb... There is no doubt that Cao's army, which was stationed in several counties west of Nanyang, sent troops.

One clerk is not enough, plus Cao Jun... The first battle in Hanzhong opened the hell mode, and it is no wonder that Zhang Lu and Yan Pu invited him to come to Fangling again and again.

"It's... This is not true, but although there are no heirs of Cao's important ministers, there are many county captains and guards in Wudang, Nanxiang, and Shunyang counties among these stragglers.

Mr. also knows that Cao Cao's southern expedition to the north and the victories have been won many times, and he has raised many arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under his command, how can he put us in his eyes, and now he is humiliated... can't beat Liu Guanzhang, he always has to find someone to vent his anger. ”

“.…..”

glanced at Yang Ang deeply, and the word recklessness gradually became Peng Yi's first impression of Yang Ang.

"How many troops did Wudang and Nanxiang Cao Jun send this time? Where are the troops? ”

Shaking his head, thinking about the promise he made to Zhang Yong before, Peng Yi didn't say anything more, and his eyes were replaced by firmness.

"Nanxiang and Wudang are big counties, although they are seriously damaged by Cao Ren's defeat, there are still a lot of county soldiers, and the Cao army in the western counties is headed by Nanxiang Captain Ma Ren, and the soldiers of the six counties are gathered... A total of about 8,000, the current garrison is involved in the small city. ”

"Eight thousand?"

With 8,000 Cao troops, plus 18,000 Jingzhou troops, the enemy's strength was already five times that Fang Ling was able to mobilize... It's not a big battle, but it's good... Neither Ma Ren nor Wenpin will join forces.

In addition, both sides may have plans to be fishermen in their hearts.

"Is there enough food and grass in the city?"

His eyes wandered back and forth between Shedu and Zhuyang, and after a while, Peng Yi's eyes froze and he made a decision.

If you want to break the situation, Fangling's existing forces alone are far from enough... The only hope is still placed on Nanxiang Captain Ma Ren.

"Sir, rest assured! Fangling has enough grain and grass, enough to support the military and civilians in the city for a year. ”

Although Fangling is mountainous and the terrain is steep, after all, it is located on the main road between Jingxiang and Hanzhong, and many caravans pass through here... Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of money and food.

This is also where Hanzhong's confidence lies in daring to garrison 6,000 troops in Fangling County.

"That's great!"

"How are the settlements and people outside the city?"

There is no doubt that this will be a difficult struggle, and Fangling City may be able to achieve temporary stability, but the Yicheng and settlements outside Fangling City... It is bound to become a sea of swords and fire.

In this winter... If you lose your home, for the people...

"The people within ten miles outside Fangling City have now moved to the city, and arrangements have been made. Sentinels have been dispatched a little further afield... However, now that the road is difficult and the wind is cold, they can only temporarily organize the young and strong, the villagers are brave, and they can defend the city..."

Looking at the huge word Fang Ling on the case, Han Bin's mood seemed a little abnormal.

For either side, it was supposed to protect the territory and the people, but now I am watching the foreign jackals wreak havoc under their rule... There is nothing he can do but be a bystander, and he... What kind of parent official...

"Han County Order... Please mourn! The enemy's forces are outnumbered, and this is not what we want. But... Some things have to be repaid sooner or later, today's loss, tomorrow's gain, although Hanzhong is small... But he can raise 100,000 troops, and today's humiliation, he will return it tomorrow! ”

Maybe... It was the small strength of the Zhang clan in Hanzhong that gathered people like Yan Pu and Han Bin.

"Let the gentleman smile, which's the lightest... Which is more important, Han Bin knows in his heart. ”

Bowing to Peng Yi, Han Bin replied in a hoarse voice.

"General Yang, I have something to do... You still need the help of the general! ”

Looking at the mountains, rivers and water veins on the map, and the city settlements, Peng Yi's eyes fell on Sheduyi... I haven't left for a long time.

"Sir, please speak, Yang Ang will definitely do his best!"

……

Hanzhong, Nanzheng, Taishoufu.

Leaving Xiazhi, Zhang Yong and the others did not stop on the way, and hurried back to Nanzheng City all the way.

"Father, this trip is discerning, and the child is making his own decisions... In vain to admonish, he also asked his father to punish him. ”

Taishou Mansion, after Zhang Yong returned home, he just got off the horse... led Meng Qiu to Zhang Lu's study and confessed for sending food.

A heavy snowfall, from west to east, from north to south, covered the entire territory of Hanzhong and Wudu.

Zhang Lu was also able to be idle, and had time to drink tea and play chess with Yan Pu, and live a few days of idyllic petty bourgeois life.

"Get up! What Wu'er did like this means that Wu'er has his own ideas and has begun to mature slowly, just a few stones... How so! ”

In the study, Zhang Lu dropped a son, waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Yong to get up, although Hanzhong is not big... But this ten thousand stones of grain and grass have obviously not been placed in Zhang Lu's eyes.
