I have to say that the ecological environment in ancient times is indeed very good. Not to mention the distance, let's just say that this small forest, Wang Li and they just burned a place, and they actually found a dense forest at a three-way intersection near Xinye in the lower reaches of the Baihe River.

This place is only five or six miles away from Xinye County, but it is just stuck on the avenue where the Baihe River leads to Xinye, and the Baihe River turns to Chaoyang and leads directly to Xiangyang.

At this time, Wang Li was in this dense forest, with him were Zhou Cang, Gan Ning and Ma Yunlu, as well as Zhang Liao and Guo Jia's army who had just joined them, as for Cai Yan, of course, he did not come down on Lumen Mountain.

Guo Jia looked at the lord he hadn't seen for a while, and the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and even Zhang Liao on the side looked slightly excited.

Wang Li walked to the two of them, patted them on the shoulders, took the wine jug from Zhou Cang's hand and threw it to the two, but he had already turned his back: "The big war is coming, the army has already issued a ban on alcohol, and you shouldn't drink alcohol, today you and I meet again, let's take a sip for the time being!" ”

Looking at Wang Li's broad back in front of them, Guo Jia and Zhang Liao sighed again, the lord is really good at understanding the meaning of his subordinates, lest he see the two of them crying, so that the two of them will be embarrassed, and they will turn their backs on the two of them.

The two took the flask and took a long sip, swallowed it with the tears on their faces and the excitement in their hearts, and replied: "My lord, since I received your message from the flying pigeon, we will discuss with the Emperor Fu and Gongda and others, and immediately divide our troops to the south.

One route is Pei Yuanshao's army out of Taigu Pass, and one route is for me and General Wen Yuan to send troops to Chang'an to take Nanyang. The other way is led by Brother Zhicai, and Wen Huan assists in sending troops to Xicheng. Now that Wancheng has fallen, Huang Hansheng has raised troops to Nanxiang. I believe that soon, the whole county of Nanyang will be returned to the lord! ”

Wang Li sighed: "Jingzhou was originally divided into seven counties, and after Liu Jingsheng took charge of Jingzhou, it was even more than eight counties. Wang took Nanyang, Sun Wentai occupied Changsha, but Liu Jingsheng still owned six counties including Xiangyang, Nanjun, Wuling, and Jiangxia, and its power was still huge and should not be underestimated.

Now, Emperor Restoration ascended the throne in Yanzhou and re-branded the banner of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Zhang Chao and others flocked to him, Cao Cao was newly defeated, Yuan Shu was watching from the side, and the Central Plains war situation was very unclear. After this battle, I'm afraid we will have to re-plan and plan for the overall situation in the world. ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "During the Warring States Period, Fan Ju, the prime minister of the Qin State, once said: 'The inch is the king's inch, and the ruler is the king's ruler'. Therefore, the pre-Qin used it to seek long-distance friendship and close attack, first take the three Jin Dynasty and then attack Qi Chu, and finally dominate the world. How similar is it to the Central Plains at this time?

If the lord wants to use troops against the Central Plains, he should first stick to the defense line around Jingzhou, and then unite with Ding Yuan, Yanzhou Cao Cao and others, and annihilate Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Liu Biao together, so as to be able to defeat the Central Plains. ”

I just had a big battle with Cao Mengde before, and now it seems that I am going to re-alliance again, there is no loyalty in troubled times, and this prince really only values interests!

Wang Li nodded, turned to Zhou Cang on the side and asked, "Have Wen Ping and Wang Wei come over with their defeated army?" ”

Zhou Cang said with a smile: "The Lord just got an urgent report from the front, Wen Ping, Wang Wei and Liu Pan were chased and killed by Shi Yuan, Zilong, and Ziyi in Baihe, and there were only more than 15,000 people left in the 25,000 army. ”

"That's good, it looks like it's time for a few of us to go into battle shirtless again!" Wang Li turned to Zhang Liao and smiled, "Wenyuan, I will lure the enemy into the city later, Fengxiao, a lazy guy, I'm afraid he won't be able to run so fast, I'll leave this guy here and here for you to take care of!" ”

"My lord, please rest assured, with me Zhang Liao here, the military advisor is here!" Zhang Liao

Chao Wang Li solemnly hugged his fists, Guo Jia had already hid to the side with the wine jug and quietly tasted the wine.

This rotten drunk!

Wang Li shook his head helplessly, waved his hand at the two, his legs were lightly clamped, and the shadow under his crotch floated to the front of the battle like moonlight, and the three of Zhou Cang and his generals rushed towards the Wenpin army two or three miles away.

The wind is Xiaoxiao, the horse is like ice, and Wen Ping's heart is like ice.

Think about it, what kind of ambition and what kind of pride was it for an army of 25,000 troops to fly to Nanyang yesterday evening? However, overnight, well, in the middle of the night, a fire in the dense forest forced him to divert himself to the White River. As a result, he lost the elite and arrogance under his command in Baihe.

Only sixty percent of the 25,000 army remained, one by one depressed, the morale of the army was completely lost, and the dragon in the water also turned into a soft-footed crab again. Behind him, the army of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici still fell far behind, chasing after him.

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

Wen Ping tightened the ash gun in his hand, and his eyes were already spewing fire. Although Liu Biao once said that he was a rare Confucian general in Jingzhou, and he was also not known for his force, at this moment, he was like a resentful woman, eager to immediately rush to Wang Li, and then raise the ash gun in his hand and pierce him with a few holes.

Perhaps his prayers moved the heavens, or perhaps God could not see him in such trouble. Say Cao Cao Cao arrived, oh no, said Wang Li Wang Li arrived. Wen Ping was in his heart, and Wang Li had already led the army to him.

The enemy was very red when he saw him, not to mention that this enemy was still a fish bone in his throat that could not be swallowed! Where do you remember that you have more than 15,000 soldiers?

The flag flipped over, a drum horn rose to the sky, Wen Ping, Wang Wei and Liu Pan took the lead, intercepting Wang Li, Gan Ning, Ma Yunlu and others to fight. Six war horses spun rapidly in front of the two armies, swords rising and falling, and swords coming in and out.

Courage is good, but... There are some things where courage alone is not enough. Which one of Gan Ning, Ma Yunlu and Wang Li is not a first-class general in the world? Less than ten counts, I heard two screams in the formation, and Liu Pan and Wang Wei, who were playing against Gan Ning and Ma Yunlu, both fell off the horse.

Gan Ning rose and fell with another knife, Liu Pan's face changed suddenly, and he rolled on the spot and flashed from the tip of the knife, but the token in his arms had been hooked away by Gan Ning and held in his hand. Seeing that the two were in danger, Wen Ping was shocked, and hurriedly waved his army to grab the two, and with a long roar, thousands of troops and horses attacked and killed.

"Jingzhou Erlang is really a soft-footed crab in the river, once you can't fight it alone, you plan to rush up, but it's a pity that your Wen Zhongye broke through the great name in Jingzhou! Brothers, let's go, I won't be able to wait! Wang Lilang laughed loudly, pulled out the horse's head and galloped back and forth.

"Arrows!" Wen Ping was so angry that he was angry, his face was red, his neck was thick, and the ash gun in his hand pointed at the sky, and he chased after him, "The dog thief surnamed Wang, if Ben Shuai can't get you today, he will avenge my brother, and from now on Ben Shuai will make a detour when he sees you!" ”

At the sound of an order, the feathers flew like locusts, and the army galloped.

However, the soldiers and horses under Wen Ping's command have been tossed all night, and they have long been hungry and embarrassed, how can they catch up with Wang Li and his party? Except for a few unlucky ones who were shot by a rain of arrows, the others had already escaped from the land of arrows.

The army hurriedly marched to the three-way intersection, saw Wang Li and the others cross the intersection, turned the left avenue and went straight to Xinye, Wen Ping snorted coldly, surnamed Wang, I'm afraid you don't know that this Xinye has already fallen under the tent of Ben Shuai, right? Today, Ben Shuai will eat you!

Everyone followed Wang Li's trail and stepped on the left avenue, and after walking less than a mile, they suddenly heard a burst of cannons in front of them, and the torch was lit, and dense flying arrows came like rain, and more than 10,000 people followed

Crashing out of the forest ahead, the leader of the generals had a dignified face, and a crescent halberd glittered in the firelight.

Immediately after him, there was a sound of thousands of horses galloping, dust and smoke billowing out, Zhao Zilong, Taishi Ziyi and others had chased after them from behind, blocking everyone in the middle of the avenue.

Wang Li stopped in front of Zhang Liao, and shouted at Wen Ping: "Wen Zhongye, this general was ordered to recover Jingzhou, why did you bother to accompany Liu Jingsheng to the funeral?" Thinking of your loyalty, if you lead the army to surrender, this general must personally go to His Majesty to recommend you, otherwise the two people around you will be your end! ”

I'm afraid I'm going to end up here today!

Seeing that Wang Li was unscrupulous, and Wang Wei and Liu Pan both hurt their hearts, Wen Ping's heart suddenly felt a chill, but how could he Wen Ping be greedy for life and afraid of death? This life, since the moment I stepped on the battlefield, no, it should be said that when I just came out of my mother's womb, I never thought that I would be able to go back alive one day!

Afraid? Damn the bird, the man died with a big scar!

"The dog thief surnamed Wang, you are an important minister of the court in vain, but you don't want to serve your family and country, but plot against me Jingzhou, and want to do unrighteous acts, this handsome man will kill you today!" Wen Ping shouted angrily, and rode out to take Wang Li.

Wang Li let out a long laugh: "Wen Zhongye, General Ben is sincere, or you will think about it again, but General Ben will not accompany you today, and I have to go to contact Huo Zhongmiao to discuss how to collect Xinye!" ”

After saying this, Wang Li made a pause in his mouth, turned the horse's head and rushed towards Xinye with Zhou Cang, Gan Ning and others, followed by a thousand Jingzhou military horses under the command of the original Liu Pan and two thousand warriors under Zhang Liao.

……

At three o'clock, the sky was still hazy, and Huo Jun, the general stationed in Xinye County, was woken up by the guards.

Huo Jun rubbed his sleepy eyes, soaked them in cold water, and looked at the guards beside him: "Wake up the general so early, but they have new news?" ”

"It's true that there is news of the handsome them, but..."

"But how?"

The guards nodded, with a sad face: "The news is the news, but there is no good news, this is Liu Duwei's token, Liu Duwei and Dashuai are in the dense forest twenty miles outside Xinye City, and they met Wang Li and others in the forest to set fire to block the road, so they diverted to Baihe."

As a result, near the Baihe River, Wang Li's army flooded the three armies, suffered heavy losses, and more than 25,000 troops were broken by four halts. The marshal waved his army to Xinye, and was besieged by Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici under Wang Li at the fork in the road three or five miles outside the county seat. ”

"Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan? How did he get here? Huo Jun was taken aback.

The guard shook his head and handed over a token in his hand: "The last general doesn't know, this is the token that the commander of Liu Pan and Liu Duwei was ordered to ask for help, and they are now waiting for the general's reinforcements outside the city!" ”

"Is that true?"

"The last general has checked the token, and the token is confirmed. In addition, according to a report from a spies in the army, the sound of killing was shocking three or five miles outside the county seat, and about 20,000 people were fighting at the intersection of the road! ”

"Order the three armies, and the whole army will go out of the city!"

"General, what about this Xinye County?"

"If my Jingzhou army is seriously damaged, Nanyang is lost, and the marshal and the two generals are in front of the battle, what is the benefit of this isolated county town outside Xiangyang in the overall situation?" Huo Jun took the token and took a look, took the armor on the hanger from his waist, picked up the big knife and rushed to the lobby.

"No!"
