"Runan guard general Wen Ping suddenly led his troops to rebel, Cao Cao's general Cao Hong responded, attacked the counties of Runan, Taishou Lusu hastily resisted, was defeated and retreated, and Fuyi general Hou Cheng and General Du Yi retreated to Yiyang, Han Song and Fu Xun surrendered to Cao!"

Silence, silence, as if everyone had been frozen by magic, and everyone was shocked by the news. Jingzhou has always been invincible, invincible and invincible, capturing Xiahoudun and Li Tong, beheading Cao Xiu, and capturing Cheng Pu.

Liu Yong's face was very calm, and he waved his hand to let the scout retreat. He had already predicted last night that Runan would not be safe, Lu Su would be fine, and Hou Cheng and Du Yi would be loyal and commendable, which was already very rare good news.

"The lord can't just forget it, he must be killed, otherwise his morale will definitely be greatly affected!" Liao Hua was indignant and wanted to kill Xuchang immediately.

Liu Yong motioned for him to be calm and look at Lou Gui and Pang Tong, these two people are the leaders of Jingzhou's wisdom, and their opinions Liu Yong must ask.

Lou Gui came out: "Lord, the old man thinks that Runan is in danger now, and with Cao Cao's person, he can send Cao Hong to send troops, which is enough to show that he has taken precautions, and if he sends troops to go, he will definitely fall for their conspiracy." It's better to respond to all changes with the same and see how the situation develops before making a plan! ”

Pang Tong also came out: "Tong agrees with Mr. Zibo's suggestion. Cao Cao has been jealous of the lord for a long time, and it is impossible to pay such a big price this time just to try Runan, there must be other actions, it is better to wait and see. ”

Seeing that these two people have the same opinion, Liu Yong also feels reasonable, according to Cao Cao's style of acting in history, and there are so many first-class strategists under his command, this matter will definitely not be so simple. Suddenly seeing Tian Feng in the crowd, Liu Yong's eyes lit up, this first-class strategist must also have his own opinions, and immediately said: "What does Mr. Yuan Hao think of this matter?" ”

Tian Feng saw that Liu Yong took the initiative to speak, and immediately said: "Lord, the old man thinks that Cao Cao's plot against Runan this time is just taking advantage of the trend, and the main purpose should be Hanzhong?" ”

"Hanzhong? Sir, you might as well make it clearer. Not only Liu Yong, but even Pang Tong and Lou Gui suddenly changed their faces.

Tian Feng continued: "Hebei is about to be pacified, and the main enemy next is Jiangdong Sun Quan and the lord. Although Jiangdong has a lot of talents, the biggest drawback of Jiangdong is that it is mountainous and has few plains, the population is not large, the troops are insufficient, and the mountains and hundreds of tribes are constantly attacking and harassing, and they are not well prepared to attack, but in fact, the threat is not great. And the biggest threat is the lord! Cao Cao wants to curb the development of the lord, then he must prevent the lord from seizing Xichuan, because once the lord occupies Xichuan, he is rich in Yizhou, there is enough grain and grass, and the population of Yizhou is not less than five million, which will be a great support for replenishing troops, and at the same time, Hanzhong no longer has any worries, so Cao Cao must seize Hanzhong as soon as possible!

The importance of Hanzhong's strategic location is self-evident, not only can go west out of Yongliang, but also can enter the army at will, which is a great threat to Cao Cao. Therefore, the lord must inform General Wei Yan and General Zang Ba as soon as possible, and take precautions! Maybe at this moment, Wuguan Cao Bing has already waved his troops out! ”

After listening to Tian Feng's words, Liu Yong also felt cold in his hands and feet, and asked Kuai Yue to set fire to Fancheng to create chaos and attract everyone's attention, but he rebelled against Wenpin in Runan and attacked the city and plundered the land. makes people think that this is his purpose, once he thinks so, then as long as he suddenly attacks with a large army in Wuguan, Wen Ping will definitely be difficult to guard against and resist. Once you break through Zang Ba's defense, Hanzhong is in danger! Cao Cao is not Zhang Lu, if he occupies Hanzhong, and he wants to capture Xichuan again, it will be extremely difficult!

Liu Yong immediately said to Tian Feng: "What does Mr. Yi think we should do now?" ”

Tian Feng was very happy when he saw that Liu Yong listened to his opinion, and immediately said: "The lord had better go out in person immediately, let General Zilong lead 10,000 troops, and then supplement a military division to Xicheng." First, to boost morale, and secondly, Wei Yan, Zang Ba, Yang Ren, Zhang He and other generals can only be mobilized at will, and they will definitely be able to stop Cao Jun, and maybe they can benefit from chaos.

The major event in Runan has been decided, and it is difficult to recover, so it can only be tried again in the future. There are Gan Xingba and Liu Ziyang in Jiangdong, even if there is something to lose, Jiangbei and Anhui counties will be lost, and Jiangnan will be fine. There is no shortage of wise men in Jiangdong, and they should not take advantage of the fire to rob and kill themselves. So the key is in Hanzhong! ”

Liu Yong has been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally immediately understood what Tian Feng said, and immediately agreed, and ordered Zhao Yun to immediately mobilize 10,000 horses from Jiangling and set off in three days.

Three days later, just as Liu Yong was about to leave, Pang Tong hurriedly reported: "Mr. Yuan Hao's expectations are not bad, something really happened in Hanzhong!" Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan to lead an army of 50,000 people to suddenly come out of Wuguan and launch a fierce attack on Zang Ba's camp, Zang Ba and Yang Ren were defeated and retreated to Chenggu, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan successively broke through Changli, Xixian, and Xunyang counties! Xicheng gentry Shen Tan and Shen Yi brothers should be united inside, and Xicheng is lost! Now, Xiahoudun led 20,000 troops to defend Xicheng, and Xiahouyuan led 30,000 troops to attack Shangyong! ”

"Bastard!" Liu Yong's face turned pale.

When I first arrived in Xicheng, someone recommended the Shen brothers, but Liu Yong remembered that the two brothers seemed to have surrendered to Liu Bei first and then Cao Cao in history, so they didn't need it, but they didn't expect to betray!

Liu Yong was about to set off, and suddenly a sergeant entered again, holding a brocade box in his hand.

"What is this?" Liu Yong was puzzled.

The sergeant hurriedly replied, "It's a gift from Cao Jun to the Grand Duke!" ”

"Open!" Liu Yong didn't feel very good, this gift must be a little unusual, thinking that he had given Cao Yi's head to Cao Cao in the same way, could it be that he also sent someone's head?

The sergeant did not dare to disobey, so he went to open it, but as soon as he opened a gap, he suddenly screamed, fell backwards, and stammered, "Man...... Head! There's a human head in there! ”

"Who's?" There has been too much bad news recently, and Liu Yong has been extremely angry in his heart.

Pang Tong's face was also ugly, and he stepped forward to open the brocade box, and a bloody human head was impressively inside, which turned out to be Xing Daorong's head. For this military general who is not very strong, Liu Yong has some memories. It's just that since he was seriously injured in Runan, he let him recuperate on the spot, but he didn't expect to die like this!

Liu Yong covered the brocade box, suppressed his anger and said: "Return him to the Xing family, bury him with the gift of the general, and worship him in the Martyrs' Shrine!" ”

Xing Daorong's head had just been sent away, and Lou Gui also came in with an ugly face, and Liu Yong said in a deep voice: "What's the bad news?" Let's just say it! ”
