The news of the herdsmen's movement south from Xiangyang also quickly spread to the Jingzhou battlefield.

"Did Mu Longtu really go south?"

In the Yizhou barracks, Liu Yan looked at the letter in his hand with some disbelief.

"It's going south!"

Zhao Wei was in charge of the overall work of the scouts, he stood up, arched his hand to Liu Yan and said: "The scouts had news a few days ago, but we are not sure, but in recent days, we have seen with our own eyes in the north of the Tanma, Minghou Mujing has led the main force of the herdsman, about more than 10,000 soldiers, fast horses and whips south, has passed Yicheng, fast three days, slow five days, can arrive in Jingzhou City!" ”

"Good!"

Liu Yan laughed.

"Lord, this Ming Marquis did his best to defeat Xiangyang, and the herdsmen will inevitably have a lot of casualties, but he left Xiangyang alone, and did not hesitate to take risks, but also sent troops south, this matter is very strange, we still need to be cautious!"

Zhang Ren suddenly stood up and raised an objection.

He has always had great doubts about Xi Zhicai and Mu Longtu, the pair of lords and ministers.

It's just that the number of paragraphs that Xi Zhi does things is too high, and it is impenetrable, even if he has doubts, he can't find any words to refute this person's actions, after all, as soon as this person comes, he opens up a situation that he can't open many times before, and his real merits make it impossible for people to doubt him at all.

But Zhang Ren never let go of his suspicions.

After all, Zhang Renda didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart, Ming Marquis Mujing had already opened the government and was autonomous, and he was sitting on 100,000 lions, ruling the land of one side, with the name and strength, and the real princes of the party.

They don't need to take refuge in Liu Yan to survive at all.

And they took refuge in Yizhou, even if Liu Yan trusted, they were just a general, what use was it.

It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

That's what most people think.

He didn't believe that Mu Jing would choose to give up Hanzhong and come to Yizhou to be a small general.

"It's true that we need to be cautious, but I don't think we need to do too much!"

Yan Yan opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "The southward movement of the pastoral army is also a good thing for us, in this way, we are more sure of attacking Jingzhou City, so we can't let Minghou chill!" ”

"What Yan Taishou said makes sense!"

Liu Yan analyzed it in his heart, then nodded, and then said softly: "Don't talk about what he has in mind for the dragon herding figure, he led his troops south, that is, in response to my military order, he is willing to bow down and be a minister, which is a good thing!" ”

The herdsmen won great victories one after another, although the number of troops was not many, but they took the lead in opening up the situation in the north, which opened a gap for him to conquer Jingzhou.

Now that Mu Jing can go south in person, no matter what the purpose is, it is good news for him to attack Jingzhou City.

"Pang Xi!"

"In!"

Pang Xi stepped forward.

"You lead 10,000 troops, go north, and go to meet this Ming Marquis for a certain family!" Liu Yan thought about it for a while, and then said, he had to give Mu Jing enough face, and he had to try Mu Jing's purpose when he went, so sending troops north to meet him was the best way.

"No!"

Pang Xi immediately understood Liu Yan's thoughts and gave up his orders.

………………………………

In the city of Jingzhou.

"General Zhang, the herdsmen have gone south!" Cai Mao can't sleep and eat well these days, what he is worried about day and night is not the battle situation in Jingzhou City, but the situation in Xiangyang City, his Cai family is in Xiangyang, Xiangyang has changed hands, he is naturally very worried, and repeatedly sent people to the north to inquire about the news, and the news of Xiangyang is not much inquired, but he didn't expect to get a news about the battle situation in Jingzhou.

"Governor, is the news confirmed?"

Zhang Yun also asked in a gloomy face and in a low voice.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten!"

Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said, "This time, Mu Longtu personally led the troops south!" ”

"Then we are in danger in the north!"

Zhang Yun's fists were clenched, the green tendons on the back of his hand were uneven, and he said: "In the past, we could let go of the defense in the north, but now I am afraid that we will have to increase our troops to the north, otherwise the situation in Jingzhou City will open a gap from the north first!" ”

"But now our troops are under great pressure to deal with the Yizhou army!"

Cai Mao stood up and paced back and forth: "Once the troops are divided to the north, they will inevitably face a dangerous situation in the overall situation, if they exert their strength and attack with casualties, then we won't be able to hold Jingzhou City!" ”

"I have to find a way to suppress the herdsmen from the north!"

Zhang Yun nodded and said.

He asked, "Have you figured out the strength of the herding army?" ”

"The news says that there are only about 10,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Ten thousand?" Zhang Yun was a little surprised: "With this amount of troops, he dares to enter the battle situation in Jingzhou City?" ”

"Don't underestimate the herdsman!"

Zhang Yun said: "Xiangyang is solid, my main force in Jingzhou is still twice as much as the pastoral army, but it is still defeated, the main force of the pastoral army is only fifty or sixty thousand, and it has already defeated our Xiangyang City, we must not guard against it!" ”

"The shepherd's combat power is so strong?" Zhang Yun had never fought with Mu Jun, which made him frown a little.

Cai Mao spread out a map and looked at it carefully: "I have thought about it, if you want to stop the herdsmen from going south, there is only one place, here!" ”

"Nagasaka slope?"

Zhang Yun's eyes lit up slightly.

"Instead of waiting for them to besiege us, we should strike first!" Cai Mao's expression became resolute: "If we can attack and defeat the pastoral army, maybe we can still hold Jingzhou City!" ”

"But there are not a few troops mobilized, I'm afraid I can't hide it from the other side!"

"In general!"

Cai Mao raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky outside: "But what if it's raining, and then we use the rain to transport troops from the river with warships, can we cross the sea without hiding from the sky and blow it with one blow!" “

"Great idea!"

Zhang Yun stood up suddenly, and his whole person's fighting spirit became fierce.

………………………………

A light rain suddenly fell, making the march of the herdsmen suddenly difficult.

"Lord, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, we have to find a way to set up camp!"

Chen returned to Lerma and said to Mu Jing.

Mu Jing looked back and saw that the soldiers were marching in the mud, very tired, and the wooden carts of the baggage battalion behind were even more trapped in the quagmire by the axles, and they couldn't pull them out at all.

"What's up ahead?" He gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice.

"Dangyang!"

"Dangyang?"

Mu Jing beckoned, and the two guards took out the map in the bamboo tube, he looked at it carefully, and then said: "It's getting farther and farther away from Jingzhou City, and the Jingzhou army must have what the situation is in Dangyang City, I'm afraid we don't know, and if we rush into the city, if we are ambushed, now our situation will be dangerous!" ”

Long-distance running, tired soldiers and horses, if you encounter the enemy army at this time, it is a super big trouble, even if you win, it is too much self-damage, not cost-effective.

"We're camping here!"

Mu Jing pondered for a long time, drew a dot on the map, and then said: "Wait for the rain to stop and then march south!" ”

"Nagasaka slope?"

Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi both saw the place name.

"This place is both offensive and defensive!"

Huang Zhong looked at the map, and after half a sound, he said: "But be careful, after all, there is a waterway near here, and the waterway must also be guarded against, we can attack the city with the waterway, Jingzhou is more refined in fighting with the water, and they can also attack us from the waterway!" ”

"Since the lord and General Huang both think that this place is suitable for camping and resting, then I will lead the vanguard soldiers to inquire about one or two first!"

Chen turned around and personally led more than 100 scouts towards Changsaka Slope.
