Liu Yu and Fu Youde occupied Fancheng, and they wanted to delay the time for Jingzhou's soldiers and horses to go north, but they didn't want Wenpin to be a bold person. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info couldn't capture Fancheng for half a day, he didn't stop for a moment, regardless of the result of the battle between the northern Han army and the Yuan army, he directly led his troops north.

Fortunately, Huang Zu also persuaded Liu Biao that night, and the next morning, as soon as the Wenpin army left, Huang Zu also led the 20,000 troops that were only prepared to meet Wenpin.

Originally, 30,000 troops were prepared to go north together, but time was running out, and 10,000 soldiers and horses were still in preparation. Liu Biao asked people to go to Changsha early in the morning, and informed Liu Pan that he would lead 10,000 soldiers and horses in Changsha to the north, and join 20,000 soldiers and horses with the 10,000 soldiers and horses who were being prepared.

Liu Pan is Liu Biao's son, brave and good at fighting, and is considered Liu Biao's cronies, although Cai Mao and others are in high power, but they still have to guard Xiangyang and cannot be moved lightly, so Liu Biao let him lead the troops to the battle.

In Fancheng, Liu Yu and Fu Youde saw that Wen Ping immediately gave up taking Fancheng and went north, and the two discussed it, and also gave up Fancheng and let the people take refuge in the mountains and forests. Those who were willing to defect followed them north. It's just that there are not many war horses in Fancheng, and Liu Yu only needs twenty-eight horsemen, all of whom are brave and good at fighting.

After the cavalry left Fancheng, the people also abandoned Fancheng, fearing that Huang Zu's soldiers and horses would make it difficult, so they took some food and went into the mountains to hide. After the people fled, Huang Zu soon led 20,000 soldiers and horses across the river to Fancheng, but when he saw that the gate of the city was open, there was no one left, only some old, weak, sick and disabled, Huang Zu said with a blue face: "Hmph, these thieves are really hateful, it seems that the people who occupied Fancheng yesterday must have been to report to the soldiers and horses of the Son of Heaven, and the people in the city colluded with the Son of Heaven to kill me to set an example!"

"General, no, the purpose of this trip is to repel the Han army and recapture Nanyang, the people already have a lot of complaints about Jingzhou, if they are adding killing, they will hate my Jingzhou even more, and their hearts are towards the Son of Heaven. In my opinion, we should go all the way north under the banner of expelling Yuan Shu to regain the hearts of the people! A scribe behind Huang Zu hurriedly dissuaded.

Huang Zu regarded it as an Iraqi nationality, and the Iraqi nationality and Liu Biao were fellow villagers, and he followed Liu Biao when he was young, and served as a military advisor with the army on this trip. Huang Zu sighed when he heard this: "What Mr. said is reasonable, let these people go!"

After the persuasion of the Yi nationality, Huang Zu decided to bypass the people of Fancheng and leave a thousand people to garrison Fancheng, and Huang Zu went north to catch up with Wenpin.

Liu Yu, Fu Youde and other cavalry first bypassed the Wenpin army from the small road, and then took the main road to the north, so they ran to the Wenpin army Qianmian first. And the Wenpin army didn't go out for long, the Huangzu cavalry in the rear caught up, and the generals were also connected, and there were cavalry scouts in the middle to deliver messages.

Wen was hired as the vanguard, and Huang Zu led an army of 20,000 people behind, all the way to the north.

Liu Yu and Fu Youde and their cavalry ran in front of Wenpin's army, ran wildly all the way, and finally arrived in Yiyin at sunset.

To the north of Yin County is Yan County, and to the north is Nanxiang across the Xiangjiang River. There are many people in Yin County and Juan County, and in ancient times, the counties were divided according to the population, so the two counties were close to each other. To the north is only twenty miles to the county is Yan County, Liu Yu and Fu Youde and their cavalry came to the city of Yin County, but saw the banner of the Han army planted in the city, Fu Youde said with a shocked face: "When I was the commander of the Yuan army, I was still confronting the Yuan army in Zhen County, and now Yin County has been under the Han army, it seems that the Yuan army was defeated, Lan Yu fled to Fancheng, and the Yuan army in the city has abandoned the city and fled."

"I only hope that General Chang Yuchun's army is still stationed in the area of Juxian and Shunyang, and has not advanced eastward, otherwise it will be a big trouble." Liu Yu said in a deep voice.

"Hey, yesterday we were worried that the Han army would not trust us and did not come to report immediately, but now if we catch the ducks on the shelves, we have to come." Fu Youde shook his head and sighed, and didn't stay in Yin County for long, so he rushed to Yan County again.

The sky was getting dark, and before the cavalry arrived in Juxian County, on the main road, Fu Youde stepped off the war horse and screamed but was paralyzed to the ground, and Fu Youde also fell off the horse. Fu Youde got up, but the war horse only had the air in and the air not out. Fu Youde smiled bitterly: "Let's run wild for a day, the war horses will be tired to death first, only if we rest here first, otherwise the other war horses will have to die of exhaustion."

Liu Yu looked at the war horses of the other cavalry, but he was panting, foaming at the mouth, and he was afraid that he would be exhausted to death if he ran down. Liu Yu said helplessly: "Let's rest here for another night, and go north tomorrow!"

It was already evening, and the cavalrymen lit torches, some took their horses to graze on the roadside, and some sat on the ground and ate the dry rations they brought. Before dawn the next day, the group set off again, because Fu Youde's crotch war horse was tired to death, Liu Yu simply let a few people stay, walked north, Fu Youde and Liu Yu each rode a horse, and each carried two war horses, so that the crotch war horse was tired, you can change the ride, so the speed is greatly accelerated.

When it was dawn, Fu Youde and Liu Yu took the lead in coming to the city of Juxian County, and Fu Youde stepped forward and shouted: "General Chang Yuchun is in the city?"

Chang Yuchun had already marched east the day before spring, and there were only 500 defenders in the city, but fortunately, the leader of the general recognized Fu Youde, and said in shock: "You are Fu Youde?" Weren't you killed by Lan Yu's traitor? How did you come back again? ”

Fu Youde was overjoyed and said: "I didn't die after falling into the river, it's good if you know me, my heart succumbs to the Han and the thief Yuan, now if you ask to see General Chang, where is General Chang now?"

"I also admire the general's loyalty, but General Chang is not in Juxian County now, and has already led his troops to attack Luowan City in the east, and I am only afraid that it will be in the area of Champion County at this time!" The guard general also knew that Fu Youde was loyal and righteous, and he was almost killed by Lan Yu for the Han Dynasty, so he told the truth.

"Oops, General Chang has already led his troops eastward! Shall we go to inform General Chang immediately, or should we go to Nanxiang? Fu Youde looked at Liu Yu and asked.

Liu Yu groaned: "Champion County is close to Wancheng, I'm afraid that Hou Junji has already led the troops to fight with General Chang, at this time, to inform General Chang will only mess with his army's heart, let's go to Nanxiang to inform the defenders in the city to defend the city!"

"Let's go!" Fu Youde nodded, ignoring the Han army in the city, and headed north. At this time, if the news of Liu Biao's dispatch of troops was told to them, most of them would not believe it, and if they did, they would definitely inform Chang Yuchun, which would disturb the morale of Chang Yuchun's army.

Fu Youde and Liu Yu went straight to the north, and at noon they found a boat to cross the Xiangjiang River and went straight to Nanxiang. Passing by a valley on the way, Liu Yu stopped his horse and said: "This is an excellent place for ambushes, if there are enough defenders in Nanxiang, they can ambush Wenpin here, so they are suspicious!"

This is the time when Fu Youde and Lan Yu went to Nanxiang to challenge, and Lan Yu laid an ambush here, which was the only way to go to Nanxiang.

Fu Youde nodded and said: "Brother Liu thinks well, Nanxiang is a place where the Han army hoards grain and grass, even if there are not many soldiers and horses, there are still people, young and strong, and there are a lot of baggage, if you can convince them, you should be able to defeat the time of the soldiers and horses!"

"Okay, let's do it, let's rush to Nanxiang as soon as possible!" As soon as Liu Yu urged the war horse, the two rushed to Nanxiang, and at sunset, finally, they rushed to Nanxiang City.

It was still Fu Youde who stepped forward to talk, and the city guard also recognized Fu Youde, Fu Youde explained: "I was rescued in Fancheng in the middle of the river and down the river, and a few days ago in Fancheng learned that Jingzhou Liu Biao's soldiers and horses were preparing to go north to intercept Nanxiang, cut off the grain route of General Chang, Wen Ping led 3,000 soldiers and horses all the way north, I am afraid that tomorrow I will be able to arrive here, you should prepare quickly, Hugh will let Jingzhou soldiers and horses capture Nanxiang."

Fu Youde is loyal to the Han, and the matter of being killed by Lan Yu on the river is already well known in the Han army, and this guard still believes in Fu Youde's words. Hearing this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, how dare he intercept the back road of our army and do such a rebellious thing?"

"Liu Biao is a prince, he has his own selfish desire to dominate one side, Nanyang is the gateway to Jingzhou, and he refuses to be seized by the Son of Heaven! Now that the soldiers and horses will be able to arrive here tomorrow, please prepare early! Fu Youde shouted.

The guard hurriedly let the two of them into the city, and arched his hand: "Thank you two heroes for risking their lives to come to tell each other, I will immediately write to Wuguan and Qingnikou, and let them come overnight!"

"There are not many soldiers and horses in the two places, how many soldiers and horses do you still have here?" Liu Yu asked.

The guard replied: "The total number of soldiers and horses in Wuguan and Qingnikou is only 1,000, and there are only 1,000 soldiers and horses in my Nanxiang!" There are only 3,000 vanguard troops in Wenpin, how long will it take for the follow-up soldiers and horses to arrive? And how many? ”

"There are at least tens of thousands of people, and I am afraid that they can be reached with their feet in front of and behind their feet." Fu Youde shook his head and said.

"I'm going to inform Wuguan that the soldiers and horses of Qingnikou are coming!" The guard was shocked when he heard that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were coming to Nanxiang.

"General, I have a plan, I wonder if you want to do it?" Liu Yu arched his hand.

"Don't dare to be called a general, what a clever plan to ask a hero to come!"

"This time, there is a valley not far from Nanxiang City, which is suitable for ambushes, and the general has led the archers to ambush on both sides. Liu Yu arched his hand.

"Out of the city to fight? It's too risky! Not to be! The general of the city refused.

"Since the general believes in the subordinates, please act according to the plan, carry grain and grass in the city, and there are many people with heavy baggage, so let them put on battle armor, pretend to be an army, and confuse the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou! In this way, the general quickly sent soldiers and horses to Wuguan Chang'an, and asked them to send reinforcements, and the danger here could be solved! Fu Youde arched his hand.

The guard looked at Fu Youde, gritted his teeth and said: "General Chang often says that you are loyal, and he often sighs when he learns that you are dead, so I will believe you once, and go out of the city to ambush the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou!"

Fu Youde was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for your trust!"

"I first wrote to Wuguan and asked Chang'an to send troops to support, if this place is in danger, Chang'an soldiers and horses have been fully prepared, and they can arrive within two days!" The guard waved his hand.
