Zhang Yi's strength convinced Huo Jun that a powerful lord is often more loved. Xiang Yu was like this back then, if he hadn't died by himself, Liu Bang would not have been his opponent at all. The founding emperors of all dynasties and dynasties have always surpassed ordinary people in one aspect and made people follow them willingly.

The founding emperors of the past dynasties, Qin Shi Huang is eloquent, Liu Bang knows how to make good use of people, Liu Xiu is a military genius, Cao Cao is both civil and military, Sun Ce, Sun Quan brothers are also heroes among people, Liu Bei is also a person with strong personality. Sima Yi is thick and black, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, and Zhao Kuangyin are all civil and military generations, Zhu Yuanzhang is a fierce general, and the Yuan and Qing dynasties are reusing talents.

Zhang Yi belongs to the type of both civil and military, if you find a template, he is a strengthened version of Li Shimin! He is definitely stronger than Li Shimin in leading troops to fight, and the same is true for governing the country. Because Zhang Yi knows how to do things right and what to do wrong, this completely has an advantage.

Zhang Yi's charm also impressed Huo Jun, no superior person would be as approachable as Zhang Yi, and his words were funny.

After chatting a lot, Zhang Yi said, "How is it? Would you like to come and help me? ”

Huo Jun opened his mouth, he wanted to agree, but he never said it.

Zhang Yi knew his difficulty, so he said: "I won't let you fight Liu Biao, I have many enemies." Cao Cao in the north and Liu Zhang in the west are my enemies. I will let you go to serve under Liu Heimin in Yiling, and I will be stationed there for the next few years. ”

Only then did Huo Jun stand up and bow down: "Huo Jun greets the lord!" ”

Zhang Yi was a man of his word, and as soon as he made an order, he promoted Huo Jun to lieutenant and transferred to Yiling.

Zhang Yi himself also set off to the north, and the army was dispatched, and it was not until the county that he caught up with Di Qing's army. The county is not far from Xiangyang, but it is closer to the country where Wenpin and Wang Wei are stationed.

In the country, Li Jing had already surrounded Wen Ping and Wang Wei. At the beginning, Wen Ping wanted to rely on his own bravery to boost morale, but Li Jing's army was too much, and it was very passive not to boost morale. As a result, as soon as the battle began, Qin Qiong directly killed Wen Ping's army formation, and killed four or five lieutenants in a row, directly breaking up Wen Ping's army. Then Wen Ping was suppressed by Li Jing in the city, he couldn't fight hard, and he couldn't play tactics, so he could only defend the city.

Zhang Yi joined Di Qing in Bianxian, and he was now faced with two choices, one was to go directly to the northeast to go to the country and attack Wenpin with Li Jing. In this way, there are no available soldiers in Xiangyang, and Zhang Yi can clean up as much as he wants. However, there is a drawback to this choice, that is, Liu Biao may abandon Xiangyang and go north to Cao Cao.

Thinking of this drawback, Zhang Yi decisively chose to go north to Xiangyang directly. As long as Xiangyang is taken down, there is no problem in cleaning up Wenpin and Wang Wei. Compared with the army that might escape, Zhang Yi hoped to get the talents of Xiangyang even more.

After deciding, Zhang Yi asked Di Qing to go north to Zhonglu and block the land route from Xiangyang to the outside. and sent a letter to Zhang Shun, asking him to go north along the Han River and block the Xiangyang waterway.

Di Qing once again set off with the army, but this time it was all fast troops, light infantry, and they went to Xiangyang as fast as they could.

After Zhang Yi set off with Di Qing, he also set off. He led a large army and a large amount of supplies. Many of these supplies were transported from Gangneung, and they were the basis for the siege of Xiangyang.

Three days later, Zhang Yi also came to Zhonglu County, not far from Xiangyang. Zhonglu County is also a small county, which is more to help Xiangyang block the enemy from the south, and is the southern barrier of Xiangyang. However, this barrier was abolished by Liu Biao himself, and Wang Wei, who was stationed in Zhonglu, was transferred to the state of Yan. Zhonglu was not guarded by soldiers, and was captured by Di Qing two days ago.

Overnight, Xiangyang was surrounded, and Liu Biao panicked all of a sudden. He hurriedly asked his eldest son Liu Qi to organize the defense of the city, and at this time he could only trust his son. Liu Biao has no choice, and now Xiangyang doesn't even have a decent general, and he can't help it.

He also summoned the strategists overnight, "Now that Zhang Yi has come to the city, what should we do?" ”

The strategists looked at each other, and they didn't know why the situation had turned the way it did. Too fast, right? From the time they received the news of Zhang Yi's attack, Zhang Yi reached Xiangyang in only one month. Too fast, so fast that all their arrangements were rendered useless. Fu Xun hasn't sent the news back yet, and even if the news comes back, Cao Cao won't have time to come over and rescue him.

Even the Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers, who are outstandingly intelligent, have nothing to say now.

"What the hell is going to do now?" Liu Biao asked loudly, "Why don't you speak?" ”

There is nothing to be done, and of course these strategists have no words. Zhang Yi has more than 10,000 troops outside the city, and there are only a few hundred people in Xiangyang City, if Zhang Yi retreats at this time, he will be a fool. The only means they could use was to find a lobbyist to lobby Zhang Yi.

Pity! Liu Biao really doesn't have such a strong lobbyist, even if he does, he can't offer conditions that satisfy Zhang Yi, and there is nothing more attractive to Zhang Yi than the whole Jingzhou.

Seeing that his subordinates still didn't speak, Liu Biao became even more angry. He was already in poor health, but now it is even worse, his breath is unsteady, and he coughs violently.

"Lord!" Kuai Liang hurriedly stood up and said: "Now for the sake of the day, the only way to do this is to hold Xiangyang and send someone to inform the two generals Wen Ping and Wang Wei to return to Xiangyang." Then he held on to Xiangyang and waited for Cao Cao's rescue. “

After Liu Biao listened, his heart was a lot easier, but he still couldn't stop coughing. Kuai Liang's advice was tantamount to not giving it, but it dispelled his superfluous expectations. Liu Biao never thought of surrendering, and he was also a proud person. He became famous as a young man, he is a member of the Han family, and he is one of the "Eight Jun", he will not surrender like anyone. In the face of Yuan Shu before, he also had the idea of wanting to surrender, and now he will not surrender.

What the literati pursue is temperance, and Liu Xian is about to die, and he will not lose it to temperament.

Liu Biao is not Liu Cong, and Liu Cong's surrender to Cao Cao was the decision of Cai Mao and Cai, and it was not Liu Cong's own. Therefore, Liu Biao will not surrender at all, it is just a big deal to die!

Since he couldn't do anything now, Liu Biao waved his hand helplessly, "Zirou, my body is not good, Xiangyang will be handed over to you to guard!" ”

"Don't worry, Rou will do her best!" Kuai Liang said solemnly.

Kuai Liang's health is not very good, but he is still quite loyal to Liu Biao, much stronger than his younger brother Kuai Yue. This is similar to the situation of Xin Ping and Xin Bi, as well as Zhang Su and Zhang Song, which is strange enough!
