Zhang Yi's worries were very reasonable, Cao Cao was already ready to personally bring troops over, and it was simply unrealistic for Liu Yuanjing to block Cao Cao.

The news of Cao Cao's mobilization of troops soon spread to the area controlled by Zhang Yi. Although Zhang Yi didn't know it for the time being, Xue Rengui, who was in Runan, got the news, and soon their news spread to Pingchun.

Master Shang and apprentices have been waiting for more than a month in Pingchun, just to wait for news from Cao Cao's side. Now that the news of Cao Cao came, Master Shang and his apprentices immediately sent troops from Pingchun and marched west directly to Fuyang.

There are many counties in Nanyang County, and there are thirty-seven of them. Wan, Champion, Ye, Xinye, Zhangling, Xi'e, Pheasant, Luyang, Li, Duyang, Bowang, Wuyin, Biyang, Fuyang, Pingshi, Jianyang, Huyang, Sui, Shuyang, Niyang, Yin, Yu, Deng, Li, Shandu, Sui, Chaoyang, Caiyang, Anzhong, Zhuyang, Wudang, Shunyang, Xiangxiang, Nanxiang, Danshui, Xi.

Of these 37 counties, Cao Cao occupies the sixteen counties of Wan, Nieyang, Sui, Anzhong, Yuyang (Shuyang), Jianyang, Biyang, Champion, Wuyin, Duyang, Bowang, Xi'e, Pheasant, Yexian, Lixian, and Luyang in the north, and the rest are still under Liu Biao's rule.

The most noteworthy place in this is the place of Bowang, there is a very important war in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that is, the burning of Bowang, which is the first battle of Zhuge Liang out of the mountain. In history, this war was fought by Liu Bei. But there is one thing that many people don't know, this war is not Liu Bei's defense, he is actually an attacker!

In the original history, after Liu Bei was defeated in Runan, he took refuge in Liu Biao. In 202 AD, when Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shang, Liu Biao sent Liu Bei north to attack Cao Cao and fought all the way to Ye County. As a result, Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Li Dian to counterattack Liu Bei, Liu Bei retreated to Bowang, and designed to defeat the three, and after the war, Liu Bei had to withdraw because of the small number of soldiers.

Many people are accustomed to thinking that the battle of Bowang was fought by Zhuge Liang, but it is worth saying that Bowang is located in the northeast of Wan. To go from Xinye to Bowang, you need to pass through Yuyang and Thornyang, and the road you must pass is very close to Wan. If Liu Bei only defended in Xinye, he didn't need to go to Bowang at all, as long as he was in Yuyang.

Fuyang is just a small county town to the east of Nanyang County, but this place is very hidden. There is a mountain between Fuyang and Pingshi counties, which is called Tongbai Dafu Mountain. Many people have never heard of this mountain, but it is a very important mountain in China, it is the birthplace of Huaishui. In the south of Fuyang is the later Tongbai Mountain, Fuyang is in the corner between Tongbai Dafu Mountain and the later Tongbai Mountain, so it is very hidden here.

But here, as long as you bypass Tongbai Dafu Mountain, you can directly raid Ping's, Huyang, and Xinye, if you wait for Cao Cao's army to pass through Xinye, then Master Shang and his apprentices can attack Cao Cao's supply line at any time.

Fuyang was not valued by Cao Cao and Liu Biao because of this place, but it was used by Zhang Yi.

This time, Cao Cao can be said to have mobilized a lot of generals, Xiahoudun, Le Jin, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Li Tong, Zhang Xiu, Cao Xiu and others, and also brought Cheng Yu and Guo Jia to staff on military affairs. From Xuchang to Wancheng, to Wancheng for a short rest.

In the past few days, the entire battlefield has been undergoing changes to varying degrees, and the news of Cao Cao's troops has also been sent to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi immediately sent Li Jing, Pang Tong, and Qin Qiong to Caiyang to ensure that Liu Yuanjing was not defeated.

After arriving in Caiyang, Li Jing immediately arranged and set up a camp outside Caiyang City, echoing Caiyang City and choking the water.

Liu Heimin has already figured out the way to Zigui, and has already sent Huo Jun to take Zigui. There are only a few soldiers and horses in Zigui City, and they have been cautious, all for fear that Yizhou will react.

Lin Fengxiang and others in Linxiang also began to attack the city, but under Huang Zhong's counterattack, the erection of the bridge car was completed in one day. Huang Zhong was also desperately leading people to stop him, throwing torches at the bridge cars, and lighting a lot of bridge cars. However, Lin Fengxiang and others piled up soil on the bridge car again, so that Huang Zhong and others could not ignite the bridge car and had to go out of the city to destroy it. Huang Zhong didn't dare to go out of the city, but the enemy troops outside the city set up a lot of bows and crossbows, and they would be shot when they left the city.

Xue Rengui's side also took action, Cao Cao transferred the soldiers and horses of Runan, Xue Rengui began to act, he led the cavalry to start plundering all over Runan, plundering the population and various materials.

Regarding Xue Rengui's actions, Cao Ren, who was defending Runan, also knew. But he didn't have much to do, most of the soldiers were transferred by Cao Cao, and he didn't have the power to fight back in the face of Xue Rengui's cavalry. Cao Ren's subordinates are all infantry, infantry fighting cavalry, short legs are a disadvantage, and the cavalry that comes up like the wind is too bad, so they can only defend passively. If it was a not very good cavalry Jiangling, Cao Ren might be able to ambush him, but Xue Rengui was not an ordinary cavalry general, and Cao Ren had caught it several times without catching it.

Master Shang and his apprentices constantly sent scouts in Fuyang to inquire about the news of Cao Cao's army. Soon received the news that Cao Cao was finishing, and he immediately reorganized his troops, quietly bypassed Tongbai Dafu Mountain, and hid in a ravine.

Cao Cao's army once again marched south, gradually entering Jianyang, Yuyang, and Xinye. However, when they arrived in Xinye, Cao Cao's army slowed down, and they were harassed by Zhang Yi's army on the water.

Starting from Pheasant County, Shuishui has become a north-south direction, from Xi'e, Chengcheng, Jianyang, Yuyang, Xinye, Chaoyang to Xiangyang. Now that the dry season is approaching, and the big ships of the Weishui River cannot enter, Zhang Shun asked Su Fei to take dozens of ships north to block the enemy.

Su Fei went north along the water, saw Cao Cao's army, and launched an attack on Cao Cao's army on the water. After Cao Cao was harassed, he also began to worry, just on this shallow water, Zhang Yi's navy will cause trouble to him, so when it comes to the Han River and the river, wouldn't it be even more disadvantageous if he didn't have sailors?

After Cao Cao arrived in Xinye, Master Shang sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter in Jianyang, Yuyang and other places to find Cao Cao's supply lines.

A plan that had been planned for several months was unfolded like Cao Cao, as long as Master Shang and his apprentices could successfully cut off Cao Cao's grain route, then Li Jing could defeat Cao Cao and drive Cao Cao back to Xuchang, and maybe take Wancheng and other places.

However, this is also a risky move, because it is not very convenient to transport grain by bypassing the mountain road of Tongbai Dafu Mountain, if Master Shang did not snatch the grain and grass, then he may have to retreat because of the lack of grain and grass, and even be defeated by Cao Cao.

In short, if it succeeds, Zhang Yi can take Jingzhou, and if it doesn't succeed, there will be variables.
