"Lord, there is no need to worry about the southern barbarians, you can send a general to lead the soldiers to defend the area of Jianning, many barbarians are not accustomed to attacking the city, and there are many barren land in the south, the enemy's military food is bound to be limited, and the enemy army will retreat after a few days."

"Who can be the general?" Liu Zhang asked.

"Long history and Fei Guan. This person is skilled in martial arts, and he also has a strategy, and the minister is willing to use his family to guarantee that if he uses this person, he will not be able to seize an inch of land. Huang Quan replied.

At this time, Liu Zhang's heart was actually completely out of place, and when he saw Huang Quan recommending Fei Guan, he immediately agreed to order Fei Guan and Liu Xun to lead 10,000 troops to Jianning to defend against the enemy. It's not that Huang Quan is a light enemy, but now in addition to Yan Yan, there are only Wu Yi and Wu Ban brothers left.

These two are Liu Zhang's relatives, and Huang Quan doesn't want to transfer the two out of Chengdu unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise once Liu Cong goes south, then Chengdu will have no one to fight! Although this Feiguan does not have the courage of Zhang Ran and Yan Yan, nor does it have the wisdom of Fa Zheng and Zhang Song. is also very comprehensive, and knows a little about the art of war. In Huang Quan's opinion, it is enough for barbarians like Meng Huo!

Let's say that Zhuge Liang led 30,000 land and water infantry up the river, with Huang Zhong and Guan Yu as the vanguard. Generally, counties are looking at the wind. The army soon captured Yuyang (White Emperor City, Fengjie), the seat of Badong County. Then he reorganized his troops and horses in Yuyang to prepare for the next step of capturing Jiangzhou, and then took Chengdu directly to join Liu Cong's army.

Yan Yan, the Taishou of Ba County, had already led the men and horses of his headquarters plus the soldiers temporarily mobilized from the neighboring counties and counties, totaling more than 15,000 people, and set out from Jiangzhou to prepare for the rapid reinforcement of Chengdu. Hearing that Yuyang had fallen, Yan Yan had no choice but to return to Jiangzhou.

As a veteran of Yizhou, Yan Yan knows that Jiangzhou is no less important than Luocheng. If Jiangzhou was lost, Liu Cong's army would occupy all four counties in the northern part of Yizhou, namely, Pasir County, Ba County and Padong County, and Guanghan County. Zhuge Liang and Liu Cong besieged Chengdu, and if there was a rebellion in the south, Chengdu would be a dangerous city! Therefore, Yan Yan returned to Jiangzhou and prepared to intercept Zhuge Liang's army here to relieve the pressure on Chengdu.

Zhuge Liang's army stopped in Yuyang for a short time and then left for Jiangzhou. Before leaving, the generals were specially gathered together.

"General Huang Lao is very old, and it has been hard to capture Yuyang before. Next, let's go to the rear army to escort grain and grass! ”

Huang Zhong didn't know that Zhuge Liang was using a trick, and he was furious at the time: "Sir, why is this." At the beginning, the lord asked Zhong to go out of the mountain in Youxian County, but he did not think that Huang Zhong was old. Since Zhong went out with Mr., how has he ever shown the old lady? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled when he saw this: "Old man, you don't notice it!" This Jiangzhou city is high and deep, and there are fierce generals who guard Yan Yan. Liang is afraid that the old general will be a little careless and ruin his reputation. ”

"It doesn't matter! Writ of Loyalty. Jiangzhou will be taken within a few days, if not, Zhong is willing to come to see him! ”

"The old general is serious! Ryo was just worried about the general's safety. Since the general is so confident, he is still the vanguard! ”

"Mr. Xie!"

Huang Zhong didn't know that Zhuge Liang was deliberately provoking him. He had already learned that Yan Yan, the Jiangzhou guard, was also a veteran, and he had good skills. Zhuge Liang followed Liu Cong's instructions and kept Guan Yu holding it until he arrived in Chengdu to see the situation and let him fight. In this way, the one who can win Yan Yan in the army is Huang Zhong, so Zhuge Liang will provoke this veteran in advance!

Subsequently, Zhuge Liang still led 5,000 vanguards with Huang Zhong, and Jiang Wan guarded Yuyang to appease the people. Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and Jiang Qin led the army and then rushed to Jiangzhou.

Huang Zhong's army was disciplined and brave in battle. Everywhere he went, he had no offense with the people, and he was very tolerant of those who surrendered, and the towns and villages along the road rushed to surrender, and the army soon followed the Hanchuan Road and approached the city of Jiangzhou.

"The enemy vanguard turned out to be a veteran, I'm going to meet him." Yan Yan said after hearing that Huang Zhong was leading the army.

It turns out that Bajun Taishou Yan Yan is a famous general in Shuzhong, although he is old, but he is also a person who does not accept the old, and Huang Zhong can open a hard bow, make good use of the big knife, and have the courage of ten thousand people. At the beginning, Liu Zhang advocated welcoming Liu Cong into Shu and jointly resisting Zhang Lu and Cao Cao.

Yan Yan thought that this was a stupid move to "sit alone on a poor mountain and let the tiger defend itself"[1]. However, Yan Yan was still loyal to his duties and prepared for war in Jiangzhou. Now, as Yan Yan expected, Liu Cong's two-way army attacked Shu, and Yan Yan wanted to stop Zhuge Liang with his own strength.

Now I heard that the vanguard of the enemy army was also an old man, and immediately had the idea of competing. After Huang Zhong learned that the enemy army was also a veteran, he was also very surprised, and immediately led his troops to drown.

"The enemy general Yan listened, the general Huang Zhong is here, and he is not ready to surrender" Huang Zhong ordered the soldiers to go and call for battle.

"The enemy general is presumptuous, Yan Yan is here!" After Yan Yan heard the enemy's call for battle, he brought more than 1,000 soldiers out of the city to meet the battle.

"Old General Huang, can you let the last general do it for you this time?" After Xing Daorong saw Yan Yan leaving the city, he said to Huang Zhong. He rarely had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions since his return to Shun, but now he sees that the city is a veteran, so he naturally doesn't want to miss a good opportunity!

"Since General Xing said it, the general will allow you to go, but be careful in case of trouble!" Huang Zhong said.

Xing Daorong immediately slapped his horse out of battle, and the big axe in his hand only took Yan Yan, and Yan Yan also came to meet him with a knife, and in less than 30 rounds of battle, Xing Daorong was a little defeated, so he wanted to turn his horse back to the battle.

"Move" Yan Yan shouted and shot an arrow, Xing Daorong fell off his horse in response, it turned out that he was shot in the right arm with a bow and arrow, and as soon as he got up, he was tied up with a rope by the Yizhou soldiers. In fact, if he hadn't been young, he would have been taken down by Yan Yan a long time ago, and he would have shot with a bow and arrow.

"Old General Yan is mighty, Old General Yan is mighty!" Seeing this, the Yizhou soldiers immediately shouted, and Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses saw that they had broken the deputy vanguard, and the morale was low and the soldiers had no desire to fight, Yan Yan saw that the morale of his subordinates was high, and led the army to press up with a wave of his hand.

"Withdraw!" After a hundred battles, Huang Zhong saw that his morale was taken away and he had no desire to fight, so he had to withdraw his troops and fight again in the future. Yan Yan was willing to let go, and led his troops and horses to cover up and kill, and chased him not far from Huang Zhong's camp before collecting his troops and returning to the city.

"General Yan captured the enemy's deputy vanguard in the first battle, it can be said that the sword is not old, and the old general is here, and the enemy must not be able to take a step beyond the thunder pool." After Yan Yan returned to the city, the generals came to say hello.

"Although there is a small victory today, everyone must not be careless, and should strengthen vigilance at night to strictly prevent the enemy from attacking at night." Yan Yan said. Yan Yan knew that the enemy army had 30,000 people, and today was just a small test of the month.

"Old general, please rest assured, we must be careful tonight, if the enemy army comes, they will not let them go." Said the defender of the city.

After Huang Zhong returned to the camp, he ordered the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp at night. "I didn't expect Yan Yan to really have some skills, I should personally face the battle in the future, otherwise as soon as the boss comes, the first effort to capture Bajun will be gone. He boasted about Haikou in front of Zhuge Liang. Huang Zhong thought.

After breakfast on the second day, Huang Zhongqin led the soldiers to drown in the city of Ba County, and Yan Yan also led the soldiers out of the city to meet the battle. "Huang Zhong, old thief, you still dare to come to die, don't you think that the knife in Yan's hand is not good?" Yan Yan said in battle.

"Old man Yan, don't want to be a good talker, can you dare to fight with me?" Huang Zhong immediately stepped forward to call for battle.

"The enemy general is presumptuous, I will meet you." A general rushed out from Yan Yan's side, and he was Yan Yan's lieutenant. Yesterday, when they saw that Yan Yan was easily captured, they thought that Huang Zhong had no generals in the formation, so they all thought about making meritorious contributions.

But where does he know how powerful Huang Zhong is? The man came to fight Huang Zhong with less than three times, and was cut in half by Huang Zhong's knife.

"Does Old Horseman Yan dare to come to death?" Huang Zhong beheaded the enemy general and shouted to invite battle, for fear that Yan Yan would hide when he saw this.

"Huang Zhong is arrogant, and Yan Yan is also here." Yan Yan heard Huang Zhong's invitation to fight, and he was not timid, and rushed over angrily.

Soon the two fought together, only to see the swords and guns on and off the field, the drums shook the sky, and the shouts were like a tide, Yan Yan fought with Huang Zhong for thirty rounds. However, as time passed, the advantages of Huang Zhong's martial arts became apparent. Yan Yan gradually showed his defeat, both sides were experienced in a hundred battles, Yan Yan knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose! But he was unwilling, so he had a plan at the moment, turned his head and ran to his cherishment.

"Where is the old man Yan!" Seeing this, Huang Zhong shouted and chased after him. He didn't want Yan Yan to return to the camp just like that, Xing Daorong was still in his hands.

"The enemy will look at the arrows!" Yan Yan suddenly turned around and shot an arrow, Huang Zhong saw Yan Yan's archery skills yesterday, so he has been guarding carefully, this time he saw her pull out her horse and return to the camp, he knew that it was more fried than fried. At that moment, he saw the arrow flying, and leaned over to dodge.

"Old man Yan dares to compare bows and arrows with me, just look for death, watch me shoot your helmet!" When it comes to bows and arrows, Huang Zhong can't admit defeat, this Jing Meng will be like a cloud, but Gan Ning is the one who can really compare with Huang Zhong in bows and arrows. After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he pulled his bow and shot an arrow, Yan Yan's helmet fell in response, and the soldiers on both sides saw Huang Zhong's 100-step piercing stunt, and their minds were taken away for a while, and they were silent.

Yan Yan saw that Huang Zhong's archery skills and martial arts were above him, and he couldn't help but feel frightened, so he turned around and ran towards the city.

"Where is the old man Yan!" Huang Zhong saw that Yan Yan wanted to escape, so he immediately led his army to cover up and kill.

When he saw that the enemy was about to flee to the city, Huang Zhong picked up his bow and shot an arrow, hitting the right leg of Yan Yan's mount, and the horse knocked Yan Yan to the ground in pain, and was tied with ropes by Huang Zhong's soldiers. As soon as the enemy saw that the general was captured, a few turned back to meet Yan Yan and were killed by Huang Zhong. When most of them saw that the Lord was about to be captured, the drawbridge over the city was pulled up again, and they knelt down and asked to surrender.

Huang Zhong ordered the soldiers to escort the soldiers and Yan Yan to slowly withdraw to Dazhai, and sent someone to report to Zhuge Liang.

"I didn't expect that General Huang's sword was not old, and he made such a great achievement as soon as he came out of the horse, capturing the enemy's main general." After Zhuge Liang got the news, he said happily. He was really happy, and he also stimulated Guan Yu by the way.

Guan Yu was silent when he heard this, Zhuge Liang was helpless, so he had to order the heralds: "Ba County is too guarded and Yan Yan is captured, and the people in the city must be panicked. Go back and tell General Huang that you must not neglect Yan Yan. I will personally go to the pioneer camp to recruit Yan Yan in a moment. ”
