Sima Hui got what he wanted, and then began to leave Jiangxia County, no one knows what other actions Sima Hui made next.

Mi Fang was moved by Sima Hui's words, and he had to think about his life. Mi Fang felt that he couldn't do exactly what Sima Hui said, so he found his confidant, and then told his brother Mi Zhu about it, hoping that Mi Zhu could think about it for himself.

After Mi Zhu received Mi Fang's news, he made careful arrangements. If his sister was still by Liu Bei's side, Mi Zhu wouldn't have to make any arrangements at all, and the identity of an eldest brother would have avoided a lot of trouble. But now it's different, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's identities here are very embarrassing for Liu Bei, if there is no use value in the future, Liu Bei may not abandon them. Therefore, for the safety of his brothers, Mi Zhu had to make relevant arrangements, at least to ensure the safety of the two brothers.

Mi Zhu's arrangement was given to Mi Fang, Mi Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and he also began to make arrangements, which was just a means of self-preservation.

Jiangxia's affairs came to an end like this.

And Liu Qi's soldiers and horses and Jingzhou soldiers and horses from Xiangyang began the first battle.

Liu Qi's Nanyang army only had about 30,000 soldiers, but the Jingzhou army from Xiangyang had these 60,000 soldiers and horses!

Originally, Xiangyang's Jingzhou army thought that they could easily defeat Liu Qi's Nanyang army, but the truth was very cruel. Many of Liu Qi's Nanyang counties are Liu Bei's subordinates, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. So the Jingzhou army was beaten severely by the Nanyang army.

The Jingzhou army was defeated, but they were relatively numerous, and after a short period of confusion, they resumed their formation and began to maneuver around the Nanyang army. It's just that the Nanyang Army has been inspired by the victory at the beginning, and there is no hesitation in the fight, and it is a tie with the Jingzhou Army that has a gap in numbers!

Liu Qi was originally a little frightened, the opponent's strength was twice as much as his own, how to calculate, this win was too small. But Liu Bei and Xu Shu kept cheering Liu Qi and increasing their confidence. Liu Qi also knew that the arrow had to be fired, and he also gave the order to attack. The final result made Liu Qi overjoyed, his 30,000 soldiers and horses could actually fight on a par with the enemy, which was really great. Liu Qi had to be full of confidence in the matter of entering Xiangyang.

Liu Bei and Xu Shu also guaranteed that they would be able to defeat the Jingzhou soldiers and horses from Xiangyang, as long as they defeated this part of the troops, then Xiangyang would definitely panic. At that time, Liu Qi was taking the opportunity to go south, and Xiangyang City must be in civil strife, maybe Xiangyang City could go down without a fight.

This kind of thing is not believed by people with a bit of brains. But Liu Qi believed it, and his mind was now full of capturing Xiangyang and becoming a hero like his father Liu Biao.

Cai Mao of Xiangyang was shocked by the news of the defeat at the front, he didn't expect that his troops would be crushed by Liu Qi and Liu Bei, and now due to the defeat at the beginning, the Jingzhou army, which is twice as large as the enemy army, can only draw with the rebels in Nanyang!?

Cai Mao hadn't made a decision yet, and Liu Cong found him first. Liu Cong said that he was very worried about the battle situation.

Cai Mao is a little disgusted with her nephew, just such a little guts, isn't it a little bad. Liu Cong is now the lord of Jingzhou, and Cai Mao will not disobey Liu Cong's will at such a sensitive moment. Cai Mao promised that he would be able to defeat Liu Qi, please rest assured.

After getting Cai Mao's assurance, Liu Cong settled down.

Cai Mao immediately mobilized soldiers and horses from other counties in Jingzhou to Xiangyang, on the one hand, to stabilize the defense of Xiangyang, and on the other hand, to send reinforcements to the front line at any time. The Taishou of other counties were still more willing to obey Cai Mao's command, for example, Cai De, the Taishou of Wei Wujun, was a member of the Cai family, and he immediately mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses to help. The other counties sent some soldiers and horses to a greater or lesser extent.

Regarding this point, Cai Mao was cautious, he asked all the soldiers and horses from all the counties to be stationed outside Xiangyang City, and he was not allowed to enter Xiangyang for half a step without his order. The commanders of all armies were invited by Cai Mao to Xiangyang to be entertained with good wine and food.

Cai Mao is just in case, who knows what these people think in their hearts, in case of a counterattack, where will Cai Mao cry.

At the same time, Cai Mao even ordered the front-line troops fighting Liu Qi to defeat Liu Qi, and the reinforcements would arrive soon.

With Cai Mao's order and the encouragement of the imminent reinforcements, the previously defeated Jingzhou army immediately launched a retaliatory attack on the Nanyang army.

For military men, there is nothing more shameful than failure. The Jingzhou army urgently needed a victory to wash away the humiliation, and no one was willing to retreat in this battle, and one by one they rushed to attack the Nanyang army.

Now not only Liu Qi was frightened, but Liu Bei and Xu Shu were also shocked.

The strength of the Jingzhou army is not so bad, the incompetent are all upper-level officers, and the middle- and low-level officers and soldiers are all bloody and fearless of death.

The Nanyang Army despised the Jingzhou Army because of the last victory, and it was this contempt that led to the Nanyang Army being successfully counterattacked by the Jingzhou Army.

The Jingzhou army fought with the belief of revenge, and the Nanyang army was beaten back one after another, showing some signs of defeat.

Fortunately, the generals under Liu Bei were powerful enough, and Xu Shu's adaptability was outstanding, so that the Nanyang army turned the corner.

It's just that this contact battle has made the Jingzhou army understand the reality of the Nanyang army, they know that the Nanyang army in front of them can win before, that is, they have taken shit luck, and now they have understood, so as long as the reinforcements arrive, the Nanyang army can only be defeated.

When the news reached Xiangyang, Cai Mao looked up to the sky and laughed, and then ordered the troops stationed outside Xiangyang City to attack the front line, and at this moment Cai Mao wanted to kill Liu Bei and Liu Qi. Cai Mao also issued a heavy reward, as long as he killed one of Liu Bei or Liu Qi, the bounty was 5,000.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the Jingzhou army is full of interest in the heads of Liu Bei and Liu Qi. Especially for Liu Bei, it is rumored that Liu Bei has long arms and big ears, which is really easy to recognize. Many soldiers of the Jingzhou army decided to cut him down immediately when they encountered a long-armed and big-eared man on the battlefield. That's 5,000 gold, and you won't be able to make that much money in your lifetime.

In view of this situation, Xu Shu euphemistically thought that Liu Bei proposed a strategy for temporary strategic transfer. Liu Bei was speechless for a moment, what kind of temporary strategic transfer is clearly a retreat.

Liu Bei couldn't accept it, so Xu Shu spent a lot of patience explaining it to Liu Bei. First of all, Xu Shu admitted that he had underestimated the strength of the Jingzhou army, which led to the current stalemate. Secondly, now that Liu Qi has been frightened, it will be very unfavorable for Liu Bei to continue to resist, so it is better to take advantage of the strength to make another plan. And Xu Shu has already planned, as long as the Jingzhou army dares to pursue, then Xu Shu can defeat them with a strategy.

Liu Bei once again thought that it was a very good thing that he had Xu Shu as a military advisor. In the past, when retreating, I always thought about how to run, but now with Xu Shu, I can think about how to counterattack the enemy army when I retreat. This is something Liu Bei didn't dare to think about before. After Xu Shu's explanation, Liu Bei agreed to Xu Shu's strategy.

As for Liu Qi's side, it was naturally Liu Bei who went to lobby. In fact, there is no need for Liu Bei to lobby, Liu Qi is now very worried that the Nanyang Army will not be able to stand it. Originally, Liu Qi was fantasizing about the good times after he became the assassin of Jingzhou and mastered the entire Jingzhou, but God just didn't let Liu Qi be happy, and suddenly gave him a big defeat, which made Liu Qi tremble with fright. Now Liu Bei said that there is a plan to break the Jingzhou army, and it only needs to be temporarily strategically transferred.

Liu Qi doesn't know what a temporary strategic transfer is, as long as he can save his life now. At the same time, Liu Qi also saw the horror of the battlefield battle, which can be said to be changing rapidly, and he was still victorious just now, and he may fail in a short time. Liu Qi also heard that Cai Mao used 5,000 gold to buy Liu Bei and his head. Liu Bei may not be so worried, there are top generals around him to defend him, and he has martial arts in his body, so it's not a big deal. But Liu Qi is different, he is a weak reader, and those who can protect him around him are all at the level of miscellaneous fish. Not to mention whether these miscellaneous fish will receive the temptation of five thousand gold and slaughter Liu Qi.

"Uncle Huang, the little nephew's body really can't withstand the bumps, so the matter of this command will be handed over to Uncle Huang." Liu Qi handed over the command to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was very contemptuous in his heart, he couldn't stand the bumps, and he was at ease commanding the battle in the Chinese army, how could there be bumps. It's just that this is fine, without Liu Qi getting in the way, he Liu Bei can take over the military power openly.

"The virtuous nephew is not feeling well, so he can naturally go back to recuperate!" Liu Bei was a tacit acquiescence to Liu Qi's decision.

"Uncle Huang works hard, so the little nephew will go back first. I believe that Uncle Huang will definitely be able to succeed. The little nephew was waiting for the emperor's good news in the rear. Liu Qi is grateful, this battlefield is so dangerous, it is really not suitable for him.

When Liu Bei heard this, his face turned green. Although Liu Qi was cowardly, the tone of his speech was exactly the same as that of his dead ghost father Liu Biao, which made Liu Bei a little disgusted.

Liu Qi left the army happily with a few of his henchmen, and Liu Bei took over the power very smoothly. In fact, Liu Qi is just an ornament, and it is the same with him or not. Without Liu Qi here, Liu Bei doesn't have to worry about Liu Qi's face, and can command according to his own ideas.

Liu Bei ordered Xu Shu to be the division of the whole army and implement the strategy of temporary strategic transfer.

Xu Shu already had a specific action plan, and he explained the specific purpose and relevant details of the transfer. Liu Bei made a decision at the moment.

Xu Shu took the lead in arranging a troop to go to the arrangement, and when the arrangement was completed, Xu Shu reported that Liu Bei could act.

So taking advantage of the night, Liu Bei took all the Nanyang troops out of camp and transferred, and began to march according to Xu Shu's arrangement.

The movements of the Nanyang Army were discovered by the Jingzhou Army, and the Jingzhou Army immediately thought that the Nanyang Army was going to escape. At this time, the chief general of the Jingzhou army was entangled. In fact, the main general of the Jingzhou army is none other than Wen Pingwen Zhongye, the number one brave general in Jingzhou.

Wen Ping is not a reckless person, he feels that Liu Bei must be tired of withdrawing suddenly.

But the Jingzhou army didn't think so, they all thought that Liu Bei was going to escape, and if they didn't chase it now, they would definitely be escaped by Liu Bei.

The Jingzhou army is controlled by various families, and Wen Ping, as the main general, cannot completely have the final say alone.

As a result, Jingzhou divided most of the troops to pursue, leaving the Chinese army led by Wen Ping to advance steadily.

The pursuing troops of the Jingzhou army kept running in the direction of Liu Bei's escape, they didn't know that their every move was watched by Liu Beijun's scouts, and they kept reporting back to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu fell silent when he saw this situation, it seems that there are still capable people in Jingzhou, and they can calmly organize the pursuit.

It's just that no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, not to mention that there are so many Jingzhou troops, of course Xu Shu will not let go of such a big fat.

So, in a very inconspicuous small valley, Xu Shu had already arranged flammable materials such as fire oil and waited for the pursuing troops of the Jingzhou Army to kill them.

Why did he choose such an inconspicuous small valley, Xu Shu took advantage of the Jingzhou army's earnest mentality, they must have thought that there was absolutely no ambush in such a small valley.

Sure enough, the pursuing troops of the Jingzhou army plunged headlong into the ambush circle arranged by Xu Shu. Seeing the opportunity, Xu Shu immediately launched a fire attack.

There is no need to explain the process in detail, the final result is that the pursuing Jingzhou army is almost completely annihilated.

And Wen Ping, who was steadily advancing, looked at the firelight not far away and sighed constantly, he knew that there would be such a result, but it was a pity that the Jingzhou army was almost rotten, and it was a pity that there were so many Jingzhou army officers and soldiers.

Wen Ping did not choose to go to the rescue, he thought that the troops in front had no hope of saving, and he led his Chinese army to immediately occupy the favorable terrain to defend and prevent Liu Bei's further attack.

In fact, Xu Shu and Liu Bei thought so, but when they came with the army, they saw the defensive formation prepared by Wen Ping, and Liu Bei and Xu Shu could not continue to expand their advantage.

Looking at the banner fluttering with the word "Wen" not far away, Liu Bei was almost angry.

"What a clerk, he can think of so many things, bad Uncle Huang!" Liu Bei said resentfully.

If Wen Ping stood in front of him, Liu Bei would definitely draw his sword and kill Wen Ping.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "Lord, after this defeat, the Jingzhou army has lost its courage. The momentum of our army has been achieved, and there is no one in Jingzhou who can stop us and waiting. ”

"It's still the credit of the military advisor!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

Both sides were holding on, and Liu Bei chose to transfer some troops from Nanyang to support, and he wanted to break Wen Ping in one go.

Cai Mao knew that after the defeat of the Jingzhou army, he scolded Wen Ping and others for being wasted, but he had to send more troops and horses over, if Liu Bei's offensive was not handled carefully, the situation in Jingzhou would become out of Cai Mao's control.

When Liu Bei and Cai Mao were confronting each other, a piece of news came, which made Liu Bei and Cai Mao's faces turn green.
