"Gongtai, then Cui Geng is really out of the city!" Liu Bei's camp, after getting the news from the front line, Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and smiled.

"Can be intercepted by the three generals of Shuzhi, Liu Pan, and Liu Hu, Cui Geng is quite a general, if this person is allowed to return to Wancheng, it will be more difficult for our army to break through Wancheng!" Chen Gong smiled and said, Cui Geng's withdrawal was not what he expected, Wancheng in the rear was threatened, and it made no sense for Cui Geng to continue to stay in Yuyang, if he didn't retreat at this time, there would really be no chance, how could he not retreat, but if Cui Geng returned to Wancheng, it would definitely be a threat, and he should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Liu Bei nodded, a Yuyang was guarded by Cui Geng, if he was allowed to return to Wancheng, would it be worth it?

In fact, there is no need for Liu Bei to say more, when Cui Geng led his troops out of the city to break through, Liu Pan and Liu Hu, who had already prepared, had already arrived from two directions.

The water of the Shushui River flows through Yuyang, Cui Geng's soldiers and horses go north along the Shuishui, and sixty miles north along the Shuishui, which is Wancheng, sixty miles away, if you march in a hurry, you can arrive in one day, but under the outflanking and squeezing of Liu Hu and Liu Pan, it is not easy for Cui Geng to kill from here.

The Guanzhong army repelled Liu Hu's attack with its strong combat strength, and before he had time to rest, Liu Pan had already taken another group of men and horses to make a detour to kill.

"General, if we continue like this, we will be consumed by them sooner or later!" The general rushed in front of Cui Geng and shouted loudly.

Their troops have been forced to the bank of the Shushui River, many people have lost their footing and fallen into the water, the strength of the Jingzhou army is several times that of them, and without the city wall, it is not easy to fight a bloody road.

"Let's talk about it after this battle!" Looking at Liu Pan's army that had already rushed over, Cui Geng gritted his teeth, how could he not know that he would have to be consumed to death if he continued like this, but people had already hit him in the face, and it was useless to say anything at this time.

"喏~"

While speaking, Liu Pan had already commanded the soldiers and horses to kill, Cui Geng led the army to catch up, this time, the two sides fought quite fiercely, the Guanzhong army is good at fighting, just after defeating Liu Hu's department, the consumption of physical strength is impossible for them to meet the battle again in a short period of time at the peak state.

The scuffle with Liu Pan almost made Cui Geng's troops collapse, and in the end, Liu Pan couldn't hold back and retreated, but the sound of the horn in the distance made Cui Geng's heart sink to the bottom.

"Let's go!" Gritting his teeth, Cui Geng knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would probably be wiped out here, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers had fallen to the bottom.

Walk? Where to go?

A group of soldiers looked at the surging river behind them suspiciously, although it is not wide, but the water is turbulent, if you cross the river at this time, you will either be swept away by the water, or you will be killed by the enemy army who will kill later, but in addition to crossing the river, the other three sides have been surrounded, where can you escape?

"Take the wit and the Wu as a unit, and go separately! I'll wait to meet in Wancheng! Cui Geng thought of Cao Cao's way of withdrawing his troops, although it was not completely suitable for the moment, but in this way, his chances of escaping were a lot.

As long as he can return to Wancheng and defend Wancheng, these sacrifices will not be in vain.

"Whoa!" The generals couldn't think of a better way to disperse...... Even if Cui Geng didn't say it, if the enemy charged again, they would probably have to disperse if they didn't disperse, and they each took orders at the moment, and each selected soldiers to start fleeing.

Cui Geng didn't bring more soldiers and horses, at this time, the more people there were, the easier it was to be targeted by the other party, and even took off his clothes and armor, traveled lightly, and took four guards all the way up the river, preparing to find a place to cross the river, and fled back to Wancheng by Thorn Yang.

Cui Geng did this, but not everyone was willing to do this, and some generals still fled with dozens or hundreds of soldiers, and the result was just as Cui Geng expected, and they were taken care of by the Jingzhou army.

The scattered army fled in all directions, and the Jingzhou army did not react at first, thinking that the other party would collapse without a fight, but Chen Gong sensed that something was wrong, and looked at the army that was scattered in the distance, and his face changed greatly: "It's not good, lord, the thief army is going to break through!" ”

"Breakout?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong blankly, hasn't it always been.

"The thief army is scattered like this, Cui Geng is hiding in the chaos army, and it is easy to escape." Chen Gong explained.

Liu Bei also reacted, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, notify the three generals, chase!" ”

Cui Geng's less than 3,000 men and horses, but turned into hundreds of fleeing towards the north, but Cui Geng did not, and then saw the other party's soldiers and horses to pursue the fleeing troops, he quickly took people back to Yuyang City, over there, there is a bridge to the opposite bank, Cui Geng took four guards across the riverbank, and quickly let everyone take off their armor, leaving only the seal after the letter, bypassing Jianyang, and going straight to Wancheng.

On the other side, Liu Bei and Chen Gong commanded the army to raid in all directions, but after all, many people were escaped, and Cui Geng's news was gone, Liu Bei and Chen Gong's faces were a little ugly, if Cui Geng was allowed to flee back to Wancheng and take over the defense of Wancheng, it would be difficult to break Wancheng again.

"Lord, without further ado, we should set off immediately, rush to Wancheng, and blockade Wancheng!" Chen Gong looked at Liu Beidao.

Cui Geng fled, but it was impossible to flee back to Wancheng immediately, and he was chased and intercepted along the way, no matter what, he had to rush before Cui Geng returned to Wancheng, break Wancheng or capture Cui Geng.

Liu Bei nodded, now there is only this way.

When the two were about to leave, they saw Chen come in and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, I caught a fine worker outside the camp, claiming to be Nanyang Cui's family, a member of the Cui Geng clan, and willing to help the lord." ”

"Cui Geng people?" Liu Bei frowned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Chen Gong.

"Invite him in." Chen Gong thought for a while.

Chen Zhi looked at Liu Bei, and after seeing Liu Bei nodding, he bowed and retreated.

"Gongtai, is it Cui Geng's strategy again?" Liu Bei frowned and asked.

No matter how you look at it, Cui Geng's clansmen appearing here and saying that they want to help themselves are like enemy tricks, and they are not very clever strategies.

"My lord, let's take a look first." Chen Gong said with a smile.

Liu Bei nodded and didn't speak again.

After a while, a middle-aged man was arrested, and the other party was dressed as a scholar, but with a bitter face, it was Cui Geng's uncle, Cui Quan.

"In Xia Cui Quan, I have seen Xuande Gong." After Cui Quan understood the identities of the two, he hurriedly saluted Liu Bei.

"You are from the Cui clan, why did you come to my camp?" Liu Bei didn't want to say more, so he asked directly.

"I'm here to help Xuande Gong!" Cui Quan smiled.

"Bold, ignorant people, dare to deceive me, left and right, take it from me!" Liu Bei suddenly slapped the table, his face sank, and he shouted.

"Wronged, Xuande Gong, wronged!" Cui Quan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Wronged?" When Liu Bei heard this, he sneered: "Since you are a member of the Cui clan, can you help me?" Now that Cui Gengfang has been defeated by me, he must have sent you here and conspired to harm me, how could he keep you!? ”

"Xuande Gong doesn't know, although Cui Geng is a member of my Cui clan, but this person is not grateful, my Cui clan originally sent it into the official career with the power of the clan, and now it has returned with success, but he does not want to repay, but instead makes trouble everywhere The children of the clan, Xuande Gong, came this time, it is on behalf of the wealthy families in Nanyang to welcome Xuande Gong, and there is no intention of harming it!" Cui Quan bowed.

Liu Bei frowned and looked at Cui Quan, waved his hand to signal the guards to let him go, and turned his head to look at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong got up, came to Cui Quan, and asked: "Since you are here to help my master, then let me ask you, do you know where and how the soldiers and horses in Nanyang are arranged?" How many soldiers and horses are there in Wanxian? ”

"This ......" Cui Quan was dumbfounded, how could he know this?

Chen Gong asked again: "Who is the guard of Wancheng, you should always know, right?" ”

"The guard general of Wancheng is Zhu Sheng, this person was originally a subordinate general under Zhang Liao, when Zhang Liao left, he asked this person to temporarily replace the soldiers of Nanyang, and later Cui Geng came to Nanyang and took over some of the soldiers and horses." Cui Quan hurriedly said.

"Zhu Sheng? Who is it? What are the skills? Chen Gong frowned.

"This person is taught by Nanyang Academy......" Cui Quan was a little dazed in the end, Zhu Sheng didn't have much intersection with him, what he knew was that this person was a military general trained by the academy when Lu Bu was in the past, as for his ability, how could he know.

"Chen Moke has sent other reinforcements over?" Chen Gong continued to ask.

"Yes, I know about this matter, the two generals Zhang Liao and Wei Yan are leading the troops and horses of their headquarters to Nanyang, and they should be coming soon." Cui Quan hurriedly said.

When Liu Bei and Chen Gong heard this, Qi Qi frowned, Zhang Liao was a general under Lu Bu in the past, Liu Pan, Wen Ping and Zhang Liao had fought against each other, and they almost never won, a Cui Geng has made it difficult for them to overcome, if they can't take Wancheng before Zhang Liao returns to the division, it will be difficult to capture Nanyang.

After Chen Gong asked a few more questions in a row, he motioned for Chen Zhi to take the person down first.

"My lord, what this person said should be true." Chen Gong turned his head and looked at Liu Beidao.

The few questions he asked just now were actually temptations, and the other party didn't say the right answers, but there was no contradiction before and after, and what he said should be true.

"This person is available?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

Chen Gong shook his head: "He may really really vote, but this person has no ability to break the enemy, judging from Chen Mo's method of employing people, Cui Geng is right not to use this person." ”

To put it simply, Cui Quan is sincere to vote, but he has no ability in his stomach, and the information he said, Liu Bei can know it with a little inquiry, but some in-depth problems, Cui Geng didn't let him interfere at all, so naturally there is no way to know.

"That is, this person is useless?" Liu Bei frowned.

"It works." Chen Gong said with a smile: "If you want to break Wancheng, you should also be on this person." ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong in some surprise when he heard this, didn't he say that this person was incompetent?

"Although this person is incompetent, he is the head of the Cui family, and he is not enough, but it is not difficult to make him bad, as long as he finds Cui Geng and blends into Wancheng, he can help me do a lot of things." Chen Gong smiled and said: "My lord, let me explain to him, Powan City is not far away." ”
