Early the next morning.

In the water village, the smoke curls up, and after the soldiers have breakfast in turn, they spontaneously form a formation.

Immediately, Guan Ping raised the big knife upside down, and personally led the army to slowly advance under Biyang City.

As the Jingzhou army left the camp, the Cao army scouts who were in charge of coastal exploration also quickly returned to the city.

Than the county, the county capital

"Report, Mr. Qiyu, I will monitor the movement of Shuizhai on the shore day and night, and today the Jingzhou soldiers will make food on the fifth watch and set off early in the morning."

"Now it is estimated that the enemy army is approaching the city!"

Hearing this, Chen Qun couldn't help but think for a moment, and then asked, "The Jingzhou army is attacking the city?" ”

"Can you find out how many troops the enemy army has?"

Because Guan Ping received the news that Deng Ai was approaching Biyang, he led the crowd north with great fanfare, which of course could not be concealed from the Cao army garrison along the coast.

Therefore, now Biyang has already received the news that the Jingzhou army is going north.

Hearing this, another scout from the side gave up his hand and told him truthfully: "Sir, the Jingzhou soldiers marched in formation, and the villain observed carefully for a while, guessing that there were at least more than 3,000 people. ”

When the words fell, Chen Qun touched his beard and thought carefully: "From this point of view, the strength of the Jingzhou army going north this time is about more than 3,000 people, plus the water thieves were subdued two days ago. ”

"There should be about 4,000 soldiers now."

After a deep sigh, Chen Qun didn't hesitate, so he walked out slowly, ran towards the city, and then instructed the scouts from the side, and said: "You continue to lurk outside the city, if you have any news, report it to me as soon as possible." ”

"You two, go to the city to find the general, tell him the truth, and ask him to immediately send troops to the city to defend it."

Since Cao Jun fought the first battle with Deng Ai and stuck to Bixian, Xiahou Nan befriended the powerful all day long, mingled with the powerful and powerful people in the city, ignored political affairs, and ignored military affairs.

Even, Cao Pi's purpose of letting him go south and settle down here has been completely forgotten!

In response to this, of course, Chen Qun went to admonish, but unfortunately to no avail, Xiahou Nan Zheng retorted: "Sir, why do you say this? ”

"Mao befriended Haoqiang, and he was also stabilizing the city, preventing them from rebelling against our army."

For this almost impeccable reason for Xiahou Nan, Chen Qun was speechless for a moment!

Therefore, in the past few days, Chen Qun has really grasped the military and government, handling government affairs, pacifying the people in the city, and contacting the rebellious thief army.

It's just that with the news of the Jingzhou army going north, the thief armies in various places also postponed continuing to loot and turned to wait and see.

They are waiting, waiting for news of victory or defeat.

If the Jingzhou army wins, they will respond to the situation and threaten Xudu together, but once the Cao army wins, they will also accept the governor of the Cao army and accept Zhao'an.

On the top of the city.

At this time, Chen Qun stood here, his eyes staring closely at the military formation below, his expression suddenly frowned, and he said secretly: "The military formation is strictly organized, the military spirit is high, and the formation is filled with a killing atmosphere. ”

Chen Qun can see that the Jingzhou Army is an elite force, and it must not be underestimated!

At this moment, he knew that it was no accident that Guan Yu could become a famous general in the world.

With this ability to govern the army and train troops alone, he can rank first among the top generals, even compared to Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.

"I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight!"

At this time, Chen Qun observed the movements of the Jingzhou army, frowned, and muttered to himself.

After a long time, heavy footsteps sounded from far and near, and after a while, Xiahou Nan led his guards to the head of the city, and then faced Chen Qun, and said in a loud voice: "Chen Qun, the Jingzhou army is coming, how many troops are there, can you find out?" ”

"General Qiyu, the group already knows that the Jingzhou army is about 4,000 people, twice as many as our army."

Although Xiahou Nan's inaction made Chen Qun unhappy in his heart, but now that the enemy is present, he still did not attack and told the truth.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Xiahou Nan looked surprised, so he stepped forward to look at the Jingzhou military formation outside the range of the city, and then suddenly smiled, and the joy became stronger and stronger.

After a long groan, Xiahou Nan shouted loudly: "Pass on the general's order, the whole army will assemble, follow me out of the city, and defeat the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop." ”

"No!"

The order was passed down, and the surrounding guards dared to disobey the order, so they immediately went down to pass the order.

But at this moment, Chen Qun, who was from the side, was shocked, and only after a long time did he say excitedly: "General, don't go out of the city to fight!" ”

"The Jingzhou army is high-spirited and strong, this is the elite pawn, and they are stronger than our army, and they have an advantage in numbers."

"Now that I'm out of the city to fight, I don't think the group has any chance of winning."

At this time, Chen Qun first poured a basin of cold water on Xiahou Nan, trying to extinguish the fire that was about to be extinguished.

Hearing this, Xiahou Nan was furious and shouted angrily: "Chen Qun, you actually stopped the general from leading the army to defeat the Jingzhou army? ”

"The soldiers of our army have followed the King of Wei on the battlefield for decades, and their combat power is famous all over the world, how can they be compared to southern barbarians like the Jingzhou army?"

"Besides, is the Jingzhou army really an elite, Chen Qun, are you taking a closer look?"

When the words fell, Chen Qun looked at the Jingzhou military formation again, but this time he had doubts in his eyes, and his mind was quickly thinking.

At this moment, the Jingzhou army formation was very different from the scene he had seen a second ago.

Before Xiahou Nan arrived at the head of the city, the Jingzhou army was in an orderly position, and the array was full of murderous atmosphere.

But now, the Jingzhou army formation is disorganized, and the soldiers are even more lazily paralyzed on the ground, without the slightest elite breath revealed.

According to this situation, the Jingzhou army is just a rabble!

Halfway through, Xiahou Nan sneered and sneered: "Chen joins the army, is this what you call the elite?" ”

"If the Jingzhou soldiers are really such elite, it is easy to annihilate the two thousand athletes under his command!"

At this moment, Xiahou Nan said extremely frankly.

However, what he said is indeed true, although he only led 2,000 soldiers to the south, but this Cao army was from Cao Cao's tiger camp, and the combat power was very strong.

After a pause, Xiahou Nan seemed to think of something again, his expression became more and more disdainful, and he said loudly: "With the combat power of the Jingzhou Army, that Guan Yu Xiao'er was able to defeat the Seventh Army, it was really lucky, and he caught up with God's help!" ”

"Otherwise, if this is allowed to lead the people south, the enemy army will be defeated in one fell swoop, how can the Jingzhou army be rampant?"

"Yu Ban, Xu Huang, Uncle Cao Ren is too incompetent, right?"

Now, after seeing the scattered Jingzhou soldiers under the city, Xiahou Nan also led the way with a little face, and felt in his heart that the Jingzhou army was nothing more than this, and Guan Yu was just lucky, so he could defeat the Seventh Army and pick up a big victory.

Not only that, but he also felt that Guan Yu's talent was not enough, and if he went out by himself, he would definitely capture Guan Yunchang in one fell swoop.

This idea is not known to the generals of Cao Ying, otherwise Cao Ren is afraid that he will vomit blood!

What's more, who told you that the Jingzhou army is weak, and Lao Tzu can't stop the offensive.

"General, Hugh is in the middle of the plan, that Guan Ping is scheming, some time ago, the important town of our army Xiangyang was lost, according to the news that came to him, it was Guan Ping who led the troops to break the city."

"The general should know that Xiangyang is an important town, it must be as solid as a rock, and it has the county guard Lu Chang, assisted by the late Li Wenda and Le Wenqian's son, but Guanping still broke the city for more than ten days."

"It can be seen that this person should not be underestimated, this is a little bit of Guan Ping's trick, his intention is to lure the general out of the city to fight, and then take the opportunity to eat our army."

"General, don't be fooled!"

At this time, Chen Qun clasped his hands together and saluted, his face was solemn, interrupting Xiahou Nan's self-reverie and admonishing loudly.
