The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, although Changsha is too good for Han Xuan, Wuling is too for Jin Xuan, and Lingling is too good for Liu Du and Liu Cong. But Liu Bei is also the identity of the emperor's uncle, and these people are far from Liu Bei's opponents, it is unrealistic to rely on that trace of affection to make the three of them loyal to Liu Cong, the most reliable way is not to let Liu Bei cross the river, even if he crosses the river, Li Yan will chase after him, so that the three counties will be desperately stationed.

Liu Beiju really did not disappoint Liu Cong, and on the afternoon of the second day, he abandoned Xinye and led more than 10,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of Xinye people to the Han River! Shinno Castle was burned down by him!

When the news came out, the people of Cao Yinghao and Xiangyang were stunned.

Although Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei would run away, he didn't expect him to resist at all. Of course, Liu Bei didn't want to resist, he wanted to keep his troops to deal with Liu Cong or Cai Mao. And Liu Bei still has a certain amount of popularity in Xiangyang City. After Liu Cong sent troops to Xinye to deliver food, the people of Xiangyang also had high hopes for Liu Bei, hoping that he could lead his troops to resist Cao Cao with Liu Cong, even if he didn't live in the place, he could delay for some time and consume some of Cao Cao's troops.

Of course, Liu Bei's troops were mixed with ordinary people, and they didn't go fast. But Liu Cong had already sent people to take a walk along the way, and Uncle Liu Huang, who was respected, actually abandoned the city and fled! By the time Liu Bei came to the Han River the next day, Fancheng and Xiangyang were already well known! The young lord Liu Cong is organizing a defense with all his might to resist the invasion of the Cao army, and as an elder, the imperial uncle Liu Bei has not accepted Liu Biao's favor since he arrived in Jingzhou.

When he arrived at the riverside, Liu Bei realized that Liu Cong may have deliberately asked Yi to send a letter to him, the purpose was to let him get out of the river as soon as possible, and it was a very wasteful way to get out.

The fierce generals can't pass, Fancheng can't go, Liu Bei's team still has 3,000 Xiangyang soldiers, plus the total number is not as good as Fancheng's Liu Congjun, even if Liu Bei gives up his previous suspicion to fight Cao with Liu Cong, at this time he must also hand over the command of the troops to Liu Cong.

This is Liu Bei's refusal, more than 10,000 people are his life-saving belongings, Xu Shu, Yi Yuan, Jian Yong and others have checked the defense of the Han River on the Han River, and then suggested that Liu Bei lead the army to the east, that is the Jiangxia that Liu Bei had planned for a long time, even if Jiangxia can't get it, it is better to take the opportunity to cross the Yangtze River, and then occupy the four counties of Jiangnan when Liu Cong and Cao Cao are fighting.

Liu Bei wanted to go to Fancheng and scold Liu Cong to relieve the hatred in his heart, but was dissuaded by Xu Shu and others. After all, Cao Cao may chase after him at any time, and Liu Bei's team is not marching quickly, so he really can't delay for a moment!

From a high place in Fancheng, he watched Liu Bei lead the army forward, and immediately recruited Han Song.

This time, Liu Cong took out a letter of return to obedience, which Liu Cong wrote to Cao Cao.

When Han Song saw the letter, he was taken aback: 'Lord, do you really want to surrender Cao? Han Song originally advocated the surrender of Cao, he was not the kind of blind surrender faction, but went to Xudu several times for Liu Biao's envoys, and witnessed the gap between Cao's army and Xiangyang soldiers.

However, after Liu Cong punished Kuai Yue and chased Cai Mao, Han Song's mood began to change, although he was also afraid of death, but his loyalty to Liu Cong increased greatly. Liu Bei's abandonment of the city and his escape, Han Song was also very surprised, but this does not become a reason for Liu Cong to surrender, these days Han Song is looking at it, and the defenses of Xiangyang City and the Han River are being strengthened step by step. Liu Cong said at this moment that he wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but Han Song naturally didn't believe it.

"Cong's carving insect skills know that they can't hide from Mr. Degao, but I also ask the new students to keep them secret for me. This time, Mr. was sent to Cao Yingyi to explore Cao Jun's reality and stabilize Cao Cao; I came here to ask Mr. to be a lobbyist and ask Cao Cao to send troops to pursue Liu Bei as soon as possible. Liu Bei's escape is very powerful, and I have already stated it in the letter. Mr. only needs to polish it a little from the side, no matter whether Cao Cao believes that I am sincere or not, he will definitely send a vanguard to pursue Liu Bei! ”

|“ Lord's clever plan! Lord's clever plan! In this way, Liu Bei will definitely have no way to escape. ”

"Sir's trip is very dangerous, you need to be more careful!"

"It doesn't matter, it's not the first time that Song has gone to Cao Ying, and Cao Cao will not target Song, a weak scholar. Song will be able to enjoy preferential treatment when he goes, but the lord should be more careful, Cao Cao is powerful, the lord does not have to stick to Fancheng, we have the Han River natural danger, presumably the Cao army is also difficult to break for a while! ”

|“ Thank you sir for reminding you, Cong will be careful. ”

This is the second time that Liu Cong has sent someone to send a letter of surrender, but different people have different purposes, Han Song, Liu Cong thinks it is credible. And whether Cao Cao believes in himself or not, he will definitely let the army temporarily rest in Xinye.

And after Liu Cong's reminder, Cao Cao will definitely send a vanguard force to pursue Liu Bei. Because Liu Cong analyzed Liu Bei's whereabouts and motives in great detail, and also showed that Jiangling City was rich in materials, and the city walls were high and easy to defend and difficult to attack! And the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are even more populous. Liu Cong described to Cao Cao the unwar-torn Jingnan, Cao Cao took Liu Bei as his old enemy, and was unwilling to let Liu Bei resurge.

Cao Cao wants to pursue Liu Bei, naturally it is inconvenient to use the main force, one is now Liu Cong's troops in Fancheng, and Xiangyang into a horn of the momentum, if Cao Cao goes all out to chase Liu Bei, Liu Cong will take the opportunity to sneak attack will definitely be wrong, and the large army will not be able to catch up with Liu Bei.

Then Cao Cao will send a vanguard tiger and leopard to ride according to Lu Cong's expectations, and fight with Liu Bei along the way, Liu Bei has many fierce generals, and there are many ordinary people as shields, Cao Jun will not be able to help Liu Bei for a while.

When both sides were defeated, Liu Cong ordered Cai Mao to attack, and he sent a fierce general from Fancheng to clean up the mess......

Han Song really lived up to his trust, once Han Song had been to Xudu several times, Cao Cao's vigilance against him was naturally not as good as that of other strangers. Hearing that Han Song brought Liu Cong's letter of surrender, Cao Cao first disbelieved himself.

Then he asked about the situation in Jingzhou in detail, and Han Song was not stupid, and added oil and vinegar to the matter of Kuai Yue and Cai Mao. Cao Cao heard that Cai Mao did not support Liu Cong either, and Liu Bei fled without a fight, but he was somewhat convinced that Liu Cong was forced to surrender.

More importantly, Liu Cong first made three chapters with Cao Cao, and then urged Cao Cao to quickly send troops to pursue Liu Bei.

The ancients surrendered like the three chapters of the law, which is not unusual, Liu Cong vouched for the soldiers and people of Jingzhou and his own family, hoping that Cao Cao would treat him well, Cao Cao naturally agreed, and repeatedly asked Han Song to tell Liu Cong that he would keep his promise.

And for Liu Bei mentioned by Liu Cong.

Cao Cao also knew that Liu Cong was suspected of killing people with a knife, but the pros and cons of Liu Cong's presentation were also clear, as an old opponent, Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun to lead five thousand tigers and leopards to ride without a smile, and set off to pursue Liu Bei after a little preparation in Xinye, with dry food.

Han Song took the opportunity to stay in Cao Ying but was politely rejected by Cao Cao, in Cao Cao's heart, Liu Cong was cleaned up by the way, and Liu Bei was the main enemy.

Since Liu Cong took the initiative to surrender, Cao Cao naturally agreed on the surface, but when he remembered the Jia Xu incident last year, Cao Cao did not dare to be careless. His main force is just repairing in Xinye, and he can't let Han Song look at it.

As a last resort, Han Song had to return to Fancheng the next day.

Knowing that Cao Cao had sent cavalry to pursue Liu Bei, Liu Cong summoned Liu Pan and Huang Zhong.

"The real battle is about to begin, Brother Cong and General Huang, your task is arduous."

"My lord, even if you command, no matter what you do, you will attack the city or stick to it, I, Huang Zhong, will not be ambiguous!"

"Yes, Buchang, although I am a few years older than you, but now that you are my lord, you will call me by my name in the future. General Huang and I have been preparing for a long time, what are the tasks this time? ”

"Take your four thousand cavalry to pursue Xiahoudun and Liu Bei!"

"This ...... Lord, Liu Bei is a flea, and Cao Cao is a fierce enemy. Although Zhong is not talented, these 4,000 cavalry are the elite of our army, and this time it has not yet been carried out with the Cao army, just pursue Liu Bei and send others! Huang Zhong obviously didn't understand what Liu Cong meant.

"I ask you, how many horses do you have now?"

"A thousand." Liu Pan knew that Liu Cong asked knowingly, but he still quickly answered.

"This time let you go after it, not to let you fight the enemy, but to equip your knights with war horses!"

"What do you mean? When Huang Zhong heard that he could match 4,000 war horses, it was a great deal.

"It's up to the two of you, why don't you come and look at the map, this place is still some distance from Jiangxia and the Yangtze River. Xiahoudun's five thousand tigers and leopards rode to catch up with Liu Bei in less than a day......"
