Chapter 364: Raise your eyebrows
Liu Pan finally refused Yue Fei's solicitation as Liu Biao's nephew, but Yue Fei also knew that Liu Pan was not such an easy person to surrender, and he wanted to surrender Liu Pan this time only for a slight temptation, if he could successfully recruit Liu Pan, then he would naturally make a lot of money; But if he can't successfully recruit Liu Pan, then he won't be a pity, anyway, it is impossible for him to leave Liu Pan and his troops behind.
This time to recruit Liu Pan, Yue Fei just wanted to plant a seed in Liu Pan's heart, as long as Liu Pan has this seed in his heart, when the overall situation of Jingzhou has been decided, then this seed in Liu Pan's heart will take root sooner or later, Yue Fei did this, and he also appreciated Liu Pan's ability, so as not to prevent Liu Pan from fighting to the end at the last moment, adding to the casualties of the soldiers on both sides.
Seeing that Liu Pan had made up his mind, Yue Fei didn't say much, and bowed back slightly, saying: "Since the general has made up his mind, then don't leave it at that, but I hope the general will think more about this matter, and when it comes to making a decision in the future, he must think twice, Yue is very much looking forward to the day when the general will be a general under my lord." ”
"Farewell, take care!"
"Take care!"
When Liu Pan returned to the army, the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou army had already boarded the ship, Liu Pan gave an order, and the Jingzhou military fleet slowly went down the Hunan River from the shore and went straight to the direction of the Yangtze River.
Yue Fei returned to the army and saw Liu Pan's army fleet slowly leaving, and hurriedly ordered: "Send a message to the lord, the situation in Changsha County has changed, Liu Pan noticed that the three counties of Guiyang were lost, and led 25,000 soldiers and horses to leave on a warship. Then he sent a message to Baling City and Xiakou, telling them that Liu Pan had led an army of 25,000 troops to go straight to the direction of the Yangtze River, and told them to pay attention to the situation on the Yangtze River at all times and guard the city to prevent the enemy from attacking the city. ”
"No, I'll wait for this to go and give the order!"
After hearing Yue Fei's military order, the herald hurriedly beat his horse and went straight to the direction of the camp to fly the pigeon to convey Yue Fei's military order and the news here.
Wei Yan saw that Yue Fei had finished giving the military order, and stepped forward and said: "General, now that Liu Pan's army has left, the Luo Xiaoshan camp must have been obtained by our army, and now the only obstacle is Han Xuan and others in Linxiang City and the defenders in the city, tonight is so lively, I want to come to Han Xuan and the three of them have not been able to rest, it is better for me to wait and lead the army to Linxiang City, and see what Han Xuan and the three of them have to say!" ”
Yue Fei smiled slightly when he heard Wei Yan's words, Yue Fei had a strong temperament, and he was also a character who couldn't rub sand in his eyes, before Han Xuan and the three of them were so perfunctory, although Wei Yan stepped forward to answer before, but Yue Fei was also very impatient in his heart, and now if he suddenly led a large army to the city, Han Xuan and the three of them would definitely be panicked, so they could also let out a bad breath.
However, Yue Fei is a person who cares about the overall situation after all, and he does not have the time and energy to adjust the officials of the four counties of Jingnan now, at least during the period of the war with the Jingzhou army, the Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan will definitely be Han Xuan and others, and at this time, it is better to give Han Xuan and the others Liu Xie a better face, so as not to resentful and ruin their own affairs.
"Our army is tired from a long battle, so let's go back to the camp to rest first."
Yue Fei still rejected Wei Yan's suggestion, but he also knew that Wei Yan was very aggrieved before, and it was better to let him breathe a bad breath at this time, so he continued: "But what you said before is also reasonable, if Han Xuan and the others don't know the outcome of this battle, I'm afraid they will be unable to sleep at night." In order to reassure them, he bothered the general to go to Linxiang City and inform Han Xuan and the others of this matter. ”
What Wei Yan thought was a bad breath in his heart, not really to lead a large army to the city to persecute Han Xuan and others, after hearing Yue Fei's words, he was still a little disappointed, but after hearing Yue Fei ask him to go and tell Han Xuan and the others about the results of this battle, Wei Yan suddenly became happy, bowed down and responded: "No, the last general will take the order, the general can rest assured, I will go to Linxiang City and inform Han Xuan and others of the results of this battle." ”
Yue Fei nodded slightly, and said: "The general can go by himself, after doing this, the general can go to the camp of Luoxiao Mountain to guard, where it is enough to have five thousand elite cavalry of our army, and I will lead the army back to the camp to clean up the battlefield first." ”
Although there will be no war on the side of the Luoxiao Mountain camp, but it also needs the general to guard it in case of changes, Wei Yan bowed down and responded: "No, the last general will receive the order, and after completing this matter, he will go to the Luo Xiaoshan camp." ”
……
Not to mention that Yue Fei led the army back to the camp to clean up the battlefield and settle the army to rest, and said that after Wei Yan said goodbye to Yue Fei, he led his guards to ride straight to the direction of Linxiang City, Wei Yan saw that the direction of Linxiang City was brightly lit, and the city wall was full of sergeants with torches to guard tightly, it was obvious that not only Han Xuan and others in Linxiang City could not sleep at night, but even the defenders in the city were mobilized.
Wei Yan hit the horse and came to Linxiang City, after asking Han Xuan and others which city wall they were on, they soon found the traces of Han Xuan and others, after the heavy rain stopped, Han Xuan and others had also sent some sentry horses to explore the situation outside the city, but the sentry cavalry of Yue Fei in the area of Linxiang City was dense and impermeable, and the sentry of Linxiang City had already been explained by Han Xuan and others, so that they could not exchange troops with soldiers and horses outside the city without authorization, and the Linxiang City sentry cavalry could only retreat to the city when they saw this, and did not find any useful news at all.
The shouting and killing outside the city had already stopped for quite a long time, and now not only the fire in the direction of Yue Fei's camp was very bright, but even a section of the river in Xiangshui was also full of fire, which made Han Xuan and the others more and more curious about what was going on outside the city.
Just when Han Xuan and the others were puzzled, Wei Yan finally led the army to find the door, with the help of the fire at the head of the city, Wei Yan saw from a distance that a large number of Jingzhou military generals gathered in the city gate tower here, no need to think about anything else, Han Xuan and the others were here.
Wei Yan beat his horse and came to the city wall not far away, and shouted: "I am Wei Yan, the general under the command of Yue Hou, I don't know that the people in the city are three envoys?" ”。
Han Xuan heard that the person outside the city was really Wei Yan, and he also determined one thing in his heart, it seems that tonight's battle was really won by Yue Fei's troops and horses, and now he just doesn't know what happened to Liu Pan's army?
However, thinking that the strength of Liu Pan's soldiers and horses is similar to that of Yue Fei's troops, the two of them should be equal in combat power, and the time of the diplomatic war in Fangcai City is not too long, if so, then Liu Pan's soldiers and horses should still have some combat power, if this is the case, then he and others still have some effect......
