The young military general in front of him is the pillar of optimus in the late Shu Han dynasty in history, Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang.

It's just that at the moment, he is just a penniless junior officer under Liu Biao.

"Hurry up." Su Zhe stepped forward, personally helped him up, and said approvingly: "Wei Wenchang, thanks to your secret letter, I was able to break Liu Biao and kill Liu Qi, you have made a great contribution." ”

The secret letter sent by Gan Ning that day was Wei Yan's letter of surrender.

Wei Yan claimed that he was determined to submit to Su Zhe, and in his letter stated that Liu Biao was secretly gathering troops and horses, and it was clear that a major military operation was about to take place.

It was based on Wei Yan's secret letter that Su Zhe deduced Liu Qi's sneak attack battle tonight in order to achieve great success.

And it was Wei Yan who withdrew the warship to the water, causing Liu Qi to have no way to retreat, and the whole army was wiped out here.

In other words, it is not an exaggeration for Wei Yan to take the lead.

"It turns out that you are the informant trusted by Su Fu Yin, why did you betray Liu Biao?" Huangfu Song stared at Wei Yan and asked, his tone seemed to be a little bit of a whisper about Wei Yan's betrayal.

Wei Yan said indignantly: "I have been in the army under Liu Biao for some time, when Liu Biao pacified the Jingzhou sect thieves, I made a lot of meritorious contributions, and later Sun Jian's soldiers besieged Xiangyang, and I fought bravely in several battles to defend the city, and with my merits, it is enough to be the same as the official position." ”

"But I watched those colleagues with good backgrounds all be promoted, just because I came from a humble background, I can't be reused, and every promotion is not my share, I have long been cold to Liu Biao."

"I saved Cai Mao's life a while ago, Cai Mao promised to recommend me, but in the end she didn't believe it."

"I can see Liu Biao and these high-ranking clans clearly, they would rather let a mediocre talent like Huang Jie take on a heavy responsibility than use me, they treat me like this, how can I, Wei Yan, not rebel!"

Wei Yan made a generous statement, counting the cold reception and grievances he received under Liu Biao, looking at the angry emotions, it seemed that he had been holding back for a long time, and he could finally vent it.

Huangfu Song said with a calm face: "Since you are a minister, you should be loyal to the master, if you are a little wronged, you will betray, then the word 'loyalty' is not too worthless." ”

Huangfu Song's words were already clearly satirizing Wei Yan's lack of loyalty.

Wei Yan's face sank, and he asked rhetorically, "Dare to ask who this general is?" ”

"The old man Huangfu Song is also." Huangfu Song stroked his beard and said.

"It turned out to be the famous Huangfu Yizhen, and I have admired it for a long time." Wei Yan first bowed his hand, and then said: "It's just that I, Wei Yan, am obedient to Su Fuyin, and it has nothing to do with you, and I don't bother to respond to your troubles." ”

Huangfu Song was stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but be annoyed, obviously he didn't expect that this young general was still a little arrogant, and he dared to scare himself like this.

He looked at Su Zhe and didn't know what to say for a while.

Su Zhe admired Wei Yan's arrogance, so he smiled faintly: "Actually, the words of the old general Yizhen are exactly what I want to ask, if one day, you think that I have treated you badly, will you betray me too?" ”

Wei Yan paused for a moment and asked rhetorically: "If the lord treats his subordinates well, why worry that his subordinates will betray the lord?" ”

Su Zhe's eyes lit up, this Wei Yan is also smart, and his answer is very clever, euphemistically indicating that as long as he treats Wei Yan well, Wei Yan will not betray.

If he betrayed, it was also his Su Zhe's negligence, and his injustice came first, so no one else was to blame.

"Okay, good, the answer is crisp, I like it!" Su Zhe laughed and said happily: "Since this is the case, then we will be the master of the subordinates who treat our subordinates well, and the other will be the subordinates who are loyal to our duties, and we will each do our duty and share the wealth." ”

Wei Yan immediately bowed to the ground again, and said angrily: "If the lord is like this, he will go to the soup and fire as the lord in the end, and he will never give up." ”

Huangfu Song was beside him, listening to Su Zhe as a "Ming Lord", while Wei Yan kept saying that he would be loyal to Su Zhe, and did not mention allegiance to the Son of Heaven, which made him very uncomfortable to listen to.

It's just that in this situation, Huangfu Song can't say much, so he can only keep silent.

At that moment, Su Zhe subdued Wei Yan, turned over his horse, raised his whip and shouted: "Order the naval warship to go to the Fancheng water camp immediately, carry the soldiers and grain and grass materials, and follow me to the south to cross the Han River and take Xiangyang directly." ”

When the order was laid, the officers and men of the three armies were extremely excited, and the excited cheers echoed over the riverside in the early morning.

If you want to cross the Jianghan and take Jingzhou, you must have a considerable number of naval troops before it can be realized.

Previously, Su Zhe did not dare to covet Xiangyang, precisely because Liu Biao had a Xiangyang naval army, and he himself was seriously lacking in warships.

After all, he only has a county in Nanyang, and he simply does not have enough material, financial and manpower to build warships.

This is a good thing, Wei Yan's surrender not only made him break the enemy army, but also harvested hundreds of large and small warships by the way, which is equivalent to a big pie in the world.

With these hundreds of warships, plus Gan Ning, the water overlord, he mastered the right to control the water between Xiangyang and Fancheng, and the army, grain and grass could calmly cross the river and transport it to the south bank to seize Xiangyang City.

As a result, hundreds of warships went straight down the river to Fancheng Water Camp.

Su Zhe led a victorious army of 10,000 and also traveled south along the Han bank to Fancheng to board the ship.

……

The sky is bright, on the south bank.

In the water camp, Liu Biao, who was wearing armor, was already standing on the bank of the water camp, blowing the river breeze for most of the day, and a pair of old eyes were always staring at the direction of Fancheng on the north bank.

He was waiting to see the head of Fancheng City, the big flag with the word "Su" was cut down to the ground and replaced with the big flag of his Liu family.

It was close to noon, but the north direction was always extremely quiet, and there was no battle for the city that he expected, and the banner of the word "Su" was always waving in the wind.

From last night to now, it has been more than half a day since Liu Qi led the army to leave, and there has been no news until now, and there is no movement in Fancheng in the north, which can't help but Liu Biao feels more and more anxious the more he waits.

"There has been no movement on the north shore for a long time, could it be that Qi'er's surprise attack failed?" Liu Biao muttered to himself, and looked at the Kuai brothers with uneasy eyes.

Kuai Liang's face was solemn, and he said: "With the landing site selected by the eldest prince, as early as three hours ago, he had already rushed to Fancheng, and judging from the situation on the north bank, it is very likely that the eldest prince's strategy failed. ”

Liu Biao's face sank, and the worry between his eyebrows became heavier.

Kuai Yue was relieved: "Don't worry, the eldest prince's strategy is extremely wonderful, the main force of the Su thieves has withdrawn from Xinye, and Fancheng will never be able to withstand the surprise attack of my 20,000 army, and the eldest prince is probably still on the road, but it is delayed for some reason that we can't think of." ”

Liu Biao's face softened slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the other degree said is extremely true, how could the Su thief think that after the government sent Han Song to tell him that after the truce, he would surprise Fancheng, and the government believes in Qi'er." Liu Biao's words were confident, but his tone was a little empty.

At this moment, the soldiers by the river suddenly heard a commotion, and they pointed at Hanshui and shouted.

Liu Biao's conversation was interrupted, and their eyes invariably looked towards the water, and they were surprised to see that hundreds of large and small warships were going down the river from the upstream and slowly sailing into the Soviet water camp on the north bank.

"Warships? When did the Su thief build so many warships? Liu Biao blurted out in surprise, his face full of surprise.

Kuai Liang's face changed, and he hurriedly pointed to the warships on the river and shouted: "Lord, look, those warships are clearly our own warships!" ”

Liu Biao was taken aback, and he was anxious to stare at it carefully, and sure enough, he found that those warships were extremely similar to his own warship, and the "Liu" flag on some warships was not even had time to be replaced.

Thundered!

A thunderbolt from a sunny day hit Liu Biao's head, causing his body to shake violently, and he staggered back a step.

He raised his hand tremblingly, pointed to the warship on the river, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did our warship sail into the enemy camp, could it be that Qi'er ......?"

Liu Biao didn't even have the courage to finish speaking, and a terrifying thought filled his mind in an instant:

Liu Qi failed!

Otherwise, how to explain that Fancheng has not seen a war for so long?

And how to explain that the warship in front of him, flying the battle flag with the word "Su", sailed into the enemy's water camp?

The only explanation is that Liu Qi's surprise attack failed, not only was he defeated, but even the naval warships were also captured!

The Kuai brothers also woke up in shock and changed color in shock.

Kuai Yue exclaimed: "How is this possible, the eldest prince's plan is so seamless, how can it fail?" Even if it fails, at most, it will not be able to capture Fancheng, how can it be so defeated that even the naval warships were captured by the enemy? This is unreasonable, unreasonable! ”

Liu Biao was stunned, the brothers of the Kuai family were stunned, everyone was immersed in the shocked picture in front of them, and the Jingzhou Navy was in an uproar, panicked and dazed.

At this moment, the soldiers came in a hurry to report, saying that it was in the direction of the western land route of the battalion, and a group of defeated soldiers were returning in a hurry.

Defeated?

Liu Biao was taken aback again, and didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly led the crowd to the west of the camp to see what was going on.

At this time, the gate of the camp had been opened, and thousands of soldiers of their own army were entering the camp one by one with a disgraced face and a frightened face, obviously a fiasco.

The more Liu Biao looked, the more anxious he became, and the colder his heart became.

Seeing the figure of Wen Ping in front of him, Liu Biao hurriedly rode up, and asked from afar: "Wen Zhongye, what's going on?" ”

Wen Ping turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground silently, and replied gloomily: "My lord, on the way to attack Fancheng, we were ambushed by the Su thieves, and most of the soldiers and horses were lost, and almost all the troops were wiped out!" ”

Another thunderbolt struck Liu Biao's head, and his whole person froze on the mount, and he was stunned, and his eyes surged with unprecedented horror, as if he had encountered the most unbelievable and terrifying thing in his life.

The two brothers of the Kuai family on the left and right were also shocked and petrified in place, panting heavily.

All around, those Jingzhou soldiers who heard the news of the defeat were all shocked and discolored, their spirits were shocked, and their morale fell to the valley in an instant.

"Why...... Why is this happening? Liu Biao, who was stunned for a long time, almost asked questions with difficulty in a trembling voice.
