When Wang Can led the army to Shangyong County, Liu Bei continued to approach Wancheng.

But the closer he got to Wancheng, the more troops Zhang Xiu had, and the stronger his ability to resist.

Even, when Liu Bei led a large army to hurry, there would be soldiers under Zhang Xiu's command who suddenly came out to attack and attack, or when passing by a certain village, a large army would also be killed in the village.

The continuous attacks made Liu Bei suffer.

Seeing that the distance from Wancheng is getting closer and closer, the resistance is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to reach Wancheng in one step.

When Liu Bei was most annoyed, Wang Can led his soldiers to Shangyong. This time, Wang Can did not enter Shangyong County with his soldiers, and directly camped outside the city. After all, the battlefield is not in Shangyong County, and it is useless to enter the county seat. In the end, the army stayed in Shangyong County for two days and had to continue on its way.

In fact, Wang Can was ready to rest in Shangyong County for some time, but the situation did not allow him to stay in Shangyong, so he could only move forward.

The army marched eastward, reached Fangling County, and then crossed the Han River and stopped at Yuxian County.

Yu County, which was established in the 26th year of Qin Shi Huang, belongs to Nanyang County.

This is already the boundary of Zhang Xiu.

Wang Can led the army to stop outside the county seat of Yu County, and before he sent troops to attack Yu County, the county order of Na Yu County had already directly opened the city and surrendered, and submitted to Wang Can.

A sesame-sized county town, with few people and few troops, could not resist in the face of an army of more than 60,000 led by Wang Can. In addition, Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei were fighting, and the troops in all the counties of Nanyang County were transferred to resist Liu Bei, and Yu County was also requisitioned by Zhang Xiu to transfer some soldiers, and the strength was even weaker, so they simply surrendered.

Wang Can took Yuxian County and did not stop.

After he removed the county order and county officials of Yuxian, he let them enter Shu as officials, and then replaced them with his own people to control Yuxian.

In this way, Wang Can continued to march into the army.

Compared with Liu Bei, Wang Can's speed is much faster.

However, it was also Liu Bei who dragged all of Zhang Xiu's army to give Wang Can the possibility of unimpeded all the way. Along the way, Zhang Xiu's troops were resisting Liu Bei, so Wang Can barely encountered any obstacles, left Yuxian, then crossed the Xiangjiang River, and finally stopped at Danxian. Wang Can led his troops to occupy Deng County, but did not enter the city and stationed outside the city.

At this time, Wang Can was already very close to Wancheng.

……

Nanyang County, Wancheng.

Spacious and quaint county warden's house, in the hall.

Zhang Xiu sat directly above, holding the news about Liu Bei's army in his left hand and the news about Wang Can's army in his right hand. Both armies have already approached Wancheng and have shown obvious motives.

At this time, Zhang Xiu is no longer the king of guns in the north.

In the past, Zhang Xiu was full of sharpness, sharp, and no one dared to stop him.

Now, Zhang Xiu has passed the age of standing, and he also has three short whiskers under his chin. However, Zhang Xiu, who is in the prime of life, has a frosty color on her temples, which makes people feel emotional.

In the face of Liu Bei leading the army to press forward step by step, although Zhang Xiu came up with a way to send troops to intercept and harass on the road, after all, he could only delay the time for Liu Bei's army to hurry, and could not completely defeat Liu Bei and protect Nanyang County. For more than a month, Zhang Xiu stayed up late at night every day, and had no time to sleep.

Days like this are already a kind of torment.

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, glanced at the generals in the hall, and said slowly: "Wang Can and Liu Bei led the army to kill at the same time, Wancheng is in danger, Lei Xu, what do you think?" ”

Lei Xu is a member of Zhang Xiu's command, and his martial arts are exquisite.

Hearing Zhang Xiu's question, Lei Xu immediately clenched his fists and said, "Lord, it doesn't matter if he is Wang Can or Liu Bei, just kill him." ”

After Zhang Xiu heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and the expression on her face was gloomy as water.

Kill back? If he could really lead the troops back, he wouldn't have to be full of sorrow.

Zhang Xiu sighed in his heart, turned his eyes, and asked again: "Zhang Xian, what do you think?" "Zhang Xian is also a member of Lei Xu's command, good at spears, and superb marksmanship.

Hearing Zhang Xiu's question, Zhang Xian avoided answering and asked, "Lord, can we stop Liu Bei?" ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, her brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

It was obviously him asking questions just now, and it was he who asked Zhang Xian. However, now it was Zhang Xian who asked him, which made Zhang Xiu a little unhappy. Zhang Xiu stared at Zhang Xian and said slowly: "Liu Bei led an army of 60,000 to kill, with Chen Gong planning by the side, and Zhang Fei as the general, it would have been difficult to resist. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiu's tone changed.

But Zhang Xiu still sought truth from facts, and did not exaggerate that he could stop Liu Bei.

Zhang Xian's eyes rolled around a few times, and then asked, "Dare to ask the lord, can you stop Wang Can?" ”

Zhang Xiu coughed lightly twice, her expression gloomy and frightening.

His eyes were like electricity, his eyes widened, and he stared at Zhang Xian deadly, as if he wanted to see through Zhang Xian's inner thoughts. But Zhang Xian's expression was unwavering, and there was no change, which made Zhang Xiu's heart rise with a sense of frustration. If it weren't for Zhang Xian being the general under his command, Zhang Xiu directly asked the soldiers to drag Zhang Xian out and slaughter him.

After a long time, Zhang Xiu replied in a deep voice; "Wang Can's strength is unmatched!"

Zhang Xian did not relent, and continued to ask: "Dare to ask the lord, Wang Can and Liu Bei, which is stronger and which is weaker?" ”

Zhang Xiu listened to Zhang Xian's series of questions, and was already a little impatient in her heart. He was full of anger and said almost roaringly: "Two years ago, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu joined forces to attack Wang Can with a three-way army, but in the end they were defeated by Wang Can. Among them, Lu Bu was killed, Guan Yu was killed, do you say that Liu Bei can win against Wang Can by leading the troops alone? ”

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "It's all nonsense!" ”

Zhang Xian smiled, his expression still the same.

Zhang Xiu saw Zhang Xian's expression, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and then he stared at Zhang Xian again, and asked tentatively: "Zhang Xian, do you mean to let Ben General surrender to Wang Can?" ”

Zhang Xian immediately said: "The lord resolutely resists, and the last general will follow the lord to fight on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud!" ”

Zhang Xian did not answer Zhang Xiu directly, but showed his loyalty to Zhang Xiu.

Of course, Zhang first played a trick gun and avoided Zhang Xiu's questioning. Zhang Xiu also understood what Zhang Xian meant, and did not ask and criticize Zhang Xian. After listening to this, he nodded slightly, understanding that if he chose to resist to the death, Zhang Xian would also die, and if Zhang Xiu chose to surrender, Zhang Xian would also surrender with Zhang Xiu.

How to decide, it is all in Zhang Xiu's thoughts.

……

The camp of the Shu army, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wang Can was sitting in the camp tent and was taking care of official business.

At this time, Guo Jia hurriedly ran in, with an eager look on his face. He walked into the camp tent and bowed to Wang Can, and said, "Lord, it's not good, Liu Biao has sent troops." ”

Wang Can didn't seem to believe it, and asked again: "Liu Biao sent troops?" ”

Guo Jia said affirmatively: "Yes, Liu Biao really sent troops, and he killed our army." ”

Wang Can was surprised, was Liu Biao poured ** soup by Liu Bei?

In the past, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao became allies and depended on each other. But after Liu Bei and Liu Biao formed an alliance, Liu Biao actually sat back and watched Liu Bei attack Zhang Xiu and gave up Zhang Xiu as an ally.

Wang Can and Liu Biao are also allies, and Wang Can and Liu Biao formed an alliance very early, far earlier than Zhang Xiudu. Now Liu Biao has sent troops to kill Wang Can, which is really strange. Liu Biao gave up Zhang Xiu for the sake of a Liu Bei, and broke off relations with Wang Can, I have to say that Liu Biao did a rare big thing.

Wang Can asked with a smile; "Where is Liu Biao's army located?"

Guo Jia replied: "It is only a few hundred miles away from our army, and we can catch up with our army in a few days." ”

Wang Can took a cold breath, Liu Biao is really powerful, he was unexpected!
