Gongsun Chan stupidly chose to stay in Yijing City and hold on, instead of following the advice of his righteous brother Liu Bei, or going to Liaoxi County, or coming to the Montenegrin Army, the leaders of the Montenegrin Army also understood the situation, and Gongsun Chan was bound to lose. Instead of sending troops to rescue him, it is better to follow the big leader Zhang Yan to attack Hanoi County.

After discussion, Zhang Baiqi decided to take the risk of sending troops and surprise attack Liaoxi County.

First, the leader of the Black Mountain Army was unwilling to give up the opportunity to seize Liaoxi County to outsiders, even if that person was Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who were originally known as Changshan Country.

At this point, even Zhang Yan herself thinks so.

Second, Zhang Baiqi was originally from the Yellow Turban Army of Julu County, and he was unwilling to succumb to Zhang Yan's hands anymore. He had long wanted to find an opportunity to break away from Zhang Yan's control, and he suggested a small force that dominated even one county.

The two old Yellow Turban soldiers from Julu County who escaped from Guanzhong added accelerant to Zhang Baiqi's ambitions.

Zhang Baiqi took the initiative to show goodwill to Gongsun Xu, wanting to ask him about the current situation in Youzhou and the situation in Liaoxi County.

After all, since Zhang Baiqi joined the Yellow Turban Army uprising, he has been active in Jizhou and the Taihang Mountain Range, and he is not too familiar with the situation in western Liaoning. What's more, if Zhang Baiqi can catch any of Gongsun Zhan's sons in his own hands, he can not only recruit Gongsun Zhan's old subordinates, but also seek the assistance of Gongsun Chan in Liaodong.

So far, the purpose of Jian Yonghe's envoy to Hebei has been basically achieved.

Gongsun Zhan's attitude is actually the least important, plus he killed Liu Yu, so even if Liu Bei has a good relationship with him, he will not bother to plan for him anymore.

In turn, Zhang Yan almost completely adopted Jin Jue's automatic Montenegrin Army strategy.

……

Returning to the Central Plains, he was attracted by the local offensive launched by Liu Bei and Wei Yan against Yanzhou and Runan County.

Therefore, it was not until Wei Yan captured Yang'an County, drove Li Tong and his remnants out of Runan County, and completely captured all the counties of Runan County, that Cao Cao of Xu Du learned from the messenger sent by Li Tong for help that all the counties in the northern part of Nanyang County had fallen.

Li Tong had already led the remnants of his army to escape from the city before Yang'an County was captured. Originally, he planned to lead the remnants through the junction of Runan County and Nanyang County, enter the northern part of Nanyang County, and choose a county for repair.

But who knows, after Li Tongshuai's troops entered the country, not only did they eat behind closed doors, but they also suffered a mess of arrows in vain.

At this time, Li Tongcai realized that the entire territory of Nanyang County was likely to have fallen into the hands of Liu Biaojun.

After all, Liu Bei and Liu Biao are natural allies, and taking advantage of this time to take back the entire Nanyang County is not exactly what Liu Biao should do as a pastor of Jingzhou? However, until this time, Cao Jun didn't know at all that the commanders of Nanyang County were no longer Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.

In view of the fact that Liu Beijun suddenly stopped military operations after taking Taishan County and Lu State, because of the lack of food, Cao's army was temporarily unable to recapture these two counties. Therefore, originally, Cao Cao planned to personally lead his troops to attack Nanyang County and receive the remnants of Li Tong to return north.

However, because Cao Cao was overworked and contracted the wind chill in the recent period, he could only send Cao Ren and Cao Hong, followed by Li Dian, the Taishou of Lihu County, to set off from Xudu and attack Nanyang County.

In Ercao's opinion, it was an extremely simple task, but he didn't expect that as soon as the two commanders entered the territory of Luyang County, they encountered a strong resistance from Liu Biaojun.

Fu Tong relied on Luyang Mountain, instead of the defensive array built by Luyang City, which greatly limited the space for Cao Jun's flash. Because of these obstacles, Cao's army was unable to give full play to its superiority in strength, so the two armies fell into a state of anxiety from the beginning of the battle.

Although the soldiers of the Cao army were elite, they were always on the offensive, and Fu Tong's subordinates were divided into two parts, he kept the Nanyang soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command as reserves, and put the newly recruited Nanyang soldiers and the defenders of the northern counties of Nanyang County on the front line of the defensive array. Even though the quality of these soldiers was very poor, they had a strong defensive formation, which greatly reduced the number of casualties of Fu Tong's family.

For the sake of secrecy, Fu Tong did not implement field medical treatment in the army. And the people who repelled Li Tong's attempt to invade Nanyang County were Zhang Long and Ma Han, who only needed to hold the cities of the two county towns of Duyang County and Ye County, and in the face of Li Tong's troops who lacked troops and food, they were invincible from the beginning.

As for Zhao Hu, he was not angry about Fu Tong not appointing him as the county commander and placing him in Li County, but he was very happy and excited.

Zhao Hu actually knows what kind of material he is, he is at most a fierce general who charges into battle, and, in terms of his martial arts, he is temporarily ranked first among other Simas, but in front of Wei Yan and Cheng Lian, he is not enough to see at all, if the two of them are serious, Zhao Hu is not even the enemy of the two.

Fu Tong arranged Zhao Hu in Lixian County to prevent that once Cao's army was blocked in front of the defensive array of Luyang County, he would think of bypassing Luyang County and taking Lixian County as an advance base after capturing Lixian County, and the commander would enter the northern part of Nanyang County.

Therefore, in this battle, the importance of Lixian County is second only to Luyang County.

Sure enough, after the Luyang Mountain was blocked, after discussion, the second Cao quickly divided the troops, and Cao Ren led a small number of - nearly 30% of the 20,000 Cao army remained in place to block the 'Zhang Xiu army' in Luyang County, while Cao Hong and Li Dian led most of the Cao army and prepared to storm the Li.

In the absence of any reinforcements to rescue, Zhang Hu relied on his own strength to really block Cao Hong's offensive.

It was also Zhao Hu's luck, just when he was about to lose his hold, Nanyang County finally ushered in the heavy snow in the winter and October of the third year of Jian'an, in this case, even if Cao Hong was unwilling, he had to follow the advice of the deputy general Li Dian, and the commander quickly returned to the territory of Yingchuan County.

Zhang Hu was able to defend the county seat of Lixian County, in addition to the above two points, he also had to thank two people, one was Fu Tong, and the other was Feng Xiao Pang Tong.

After the war began, there were many junjie in Jingzhou who wanted to play for Fu Tong, including Pang Tong.

Fu Tong did not refuse this situation, but he placed all these people to Zhang Long and Ma Han. There was no one left in Luyang County.

Because the situation has changed, Fu Gan has come to Luyang County in advance to help Fu Tong, and it is he who is in Luyang County, coordinating resources from all parties to help Fu Tong guard the defense line of Luyang Mountain.
