If the thief has the courage to attack the city, there is no one in my Jingzhou army who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he is not courageous, he will retreat immediately, and Hugh will imitate the woman's behavior in vain!! When the Jingzhou soldiers heard Yang Zaixing's provocative words, they were immediately ashamed and angry, but the situation was not as good as that of people, and no one in the Jingzhou army dared to fight, so Lu Jie could only reply and retreat.

Seeing this, Yang Zaixing also retreated, just letting the soldiers scold each other, further suppressing the morale of the Jingzhou army, Yuan Yao saw that the Jingzhou army really had no one to fight, and he also had a certain psychological preparation for this, sighed, and said: "Hey! It seems that this Wang Wei is indeed not a vain person, this kind of patience alone is enough to surpass others! Shi Yuan, you lead the 5,000 infantry armor to withdraw first, and you will go down the river with the water division of Gan Ning's department, and I will continue to monitor the Jingzhou army again, in case when our army is encamped, the defenders in the city will go out of the city to attack our department! ”

"No, the minister is commanded!"

Pang Tong saw that this battle could not be fought for the time being, bowed down to promise, led five thousand foot armor and withdrew, after meeting with Gan Ning's water division, Pang Tong chose a dangerous place about nine miles away from the public security city to set up two villages on land and water, Yuan Yao's military camp was divided into two parts of the water village and the dry village, the camp was built on a high ground along the river, although this high ground is relatively gentle, but if there is an enemy army to attack, they also have to attack forward, The soldiers of Yuan Yaojun stationed in the camp can inflict great damage on the enemy with rolling logs and stones and a rain of arrows.

In addition, Yuan Yao's army is mostly iron cavalry, if there is an enemy to attack, Yuan Yao's army iron cavalry can take advantage of the situation to impact the enemy, for the lack of iron cavalry countermeasures of the Jingzhou army, this will be a catastrophe, Pang Tong chose to set up a village here, part of it is also for this consideration.

Wang Wei saw that the infantry in Yuan Yao's army slowly retreated, and also knew that Yuan Yao would definitely not attack the city today, originally Wang Wei also wanted to take advantage of Yuan Yao's army to attack the city, using bows and crossbows to kill Yuan Yao's army on a large scale, so as to improve the morale of his army, but Yuan Yao did not give him this opportunity, Wang Wei could only secretly say that it was a pity, after leaving Lu Jie to garrison the city wall, Wang Wei led the generals to return to the city mansion.

……

Liu Biao appointed Liu Qi as the chief general of the Xiangyang soldiers and horses, and Cai Mao and Liu Bei served as deputy generals respectively, so as to balance Liu Bei and the Jingxiang clan.

In order to avoid suspicion in Liu Biao's heart, and in order to prevent Cai Mao's vigilance, Zhuge Liang did not lead all the soldiers and horses under his rule to Xiangyang, but only led 12,000 regular troops to Xiangyang with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu as generals, and ordered Elfang to lead 1,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Wancheng, and Zhao Yun to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Xinye, and secretly gathered to govern the countryside to take precautions.

After Liu Qi served as the chief general of the Xiangyang soldiers and horses under Liu Bei's recommendation, he trusted Liu Bei even more, and it was almost to the point of obeying his words, but Liu Bei did not feel proud because of this, and his attitude towards Liu Qi became more humble, and he gave Liu Qi enough face as the main general when he acted, and Liu Qi also had a better impression of Liu Bei.

Cai Mao naturally would not willingly let Liu Qi seize military power from him, and disobeyed Liu Qi's military orders, compared with the two, Liu Qi was even more resentful of Cai Mao, and the rift between Liu Qi and Cai Mao was getting bigger and bigger.

Two days later, Zhuge Liang led the new field soldiers and horses to Xiangyang, the new field soldiers and horses in Xiangyang garrison rest for a day, Liu Biao also gave Liu Bei's soldiers and horses with enough grain, grass and ordnance, at this time Yuan Yao has sent troops, and has captured Huarong to force the news of the public security also happened to reach Xiangyang, Liu Biao gave an order, more than 100,000 troops stationed near Xiangyang went straight to Jingling City.

However, at this time, Zhou Yu's 20,000 soldiers and horses have also arrived in Jingling City, Zhou Yu's department plus Zhang Dingbian's department has a total of 40,000 elites, and they still have a strong city to rely on, although there are wise men like Zhuge Liang in the Xiangyang army and fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but Zhou Yu and Zhang Dingbian Qiang people are not given in vain, plus the generals of the Xiangyang army are not in harmony, if the power in the army cannot be rectified, the Xiangyang soldiers and horses will not be able to exert all their combat power.

In several comparisons, although the Jingzhou coalition army has a large number of men and horses, the defenders of Jingling are not without the strength to fight!

……

Liu Biao appointed Liu Qi as the chief general of Xiangyang's soldiers and horses, and after discussing some details of the battle, Wen Ping hurriedly rushed back to Jiangling from Xiangyang.

"Yuan Yao's general Ling Tong led thousands of soldiers and horses to raid Huarong County at night, Huarong guard Zhang Hu was killed, and five thousand soldiers and horses were wiped out.

"Yuan Yao personally led tens of thousands of troops to enter the public security city, Yuan Yao's general Yang Zaixing challenged in front of the city, General Wang held on to the battle, at present, Yuan Yao's army has retreated ten miles to set up a large camp, my public security city is solid, there is no danger of falling for the time being, the general does not have to worry too much!"

After Wen Ping learned about Yuan Yao's army, he hurriedly sent a message to Xiangyang and went to Nanjun Taishou Mansion to find Pang Ji to discuss the matter.

When Liu Biao first arrived in Xiangyang, Pang Ji surrendered to Liu Biao, Liu Biao designed to eradicate most of the Jingzhou bandits, Xiangyang City was also occupied by Jingzhou bandits Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, Pang Ji stepped forward at this time, and rode into Xiangyang alone to say that Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were surrendered to Liu Biao, which gave Liu Biao a place to have a foundation.

After the decline of Nanyang County, Nanjun is the most prosperous county among the several counties in Jingzhou, even Xiangyang City in Jingzhou Prefecture is also located in Nanjun, under the governance of Liu Biao, Nanjun is also becoming more and more prosperous, and Nanjun at this time can be said to be one of the top counties in the world!

Liu Biao takes Pang Ji as the Taishou of Nanjun, which is enough to see Liu Biao's trust and importance to him!

Although Xiangyang City is the state of Jingzhou, but the county of Nanjun is not in Xiangyang City, but is located in Jiangling City, Jiangling City is the important land of Jingzhou, and the savings of Jingzhou for more than ten years are all piled up in the treasury of Jiangling City.

80,000 troops are stationed near Jiangling City, Pang Ji is also very busy, after learning that Wen Ping is coming, Pang Ji hurriedly asked Wen to be hired, and said: "The general is not stationed in the camp outside the city, but comes to my Taishou Mansion, but what is the important thing?" Could it be that Yuan Yao has already sent troops? ”
