Wei Yan originally had more than 25,000 regular troops, but later recruited 30,000 strong men in Nanyang County, and now has 55,000 men. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Among them, Wen Ping, Gan Ning, and Fu Tong led 10,000 horses to guard the front line of Huaishui and Rushui to prevent Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

Chen Zhi led 5,000 men and horses to defend Yexian and guard the mines around Pingdingshan, not only to maintain a good relationship with Cao Cao's side for joint development, but also to prevent Cao's army from raiding, and only Chen Zhi could take on such a heavy responsibility.

At this time, Wen Yang led 3,000 men and horses alone to defend Wuguan, at this time Zhang Xiu was under the control of Jia Xu, and Wei Yan was in a good cooperative relationship, and the defensive task of Wuguan was not very heavy, which was considered to give Wen Yang a chance to exercise.

In addition, there are still more than 3,000 horses and horses, defending dozens of counties such as Chaoyang, Xinye, and Suixian.

In fact, the troops under the command of Li Yan who remained in Wancheng were less than 5,000 men, and most of them were new soldiers, and they were besieged by more than 50,000 family coalition troops, so it can be said that they were in danger.

In the vicinity of Yiyang New Town, there were only 20,000 regular troops available for Wei Yan to mobilize, most of whom were recruits who had just been trained for three or four months.

More than 20,000 horses have been expanded to more than 50,000 horses, the team is full of a large number of recruits, and it is at a time when the overall combat effectiveness is weakening, and the generals in Wei Yan's army are marrying wives and concubines, and their sense of combat readiness is lax.

Wei Yan knew that Yiyang Ling Manzhong was good at defense, so he left 5,000 men and horses for Manzhong and asked him and Guan Hai to stay in Yiyang.

Wei Yan led 15,000 regular troops and 15,000 garrison troops (Tuntian soldiers) to Wancheng, and the generals in the army were Xu Shu, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, Yu Ban, and Ma Jun also led the equipment battalion to go.

Originally, Wei Yan wanted Zou Ying to also go with the army so that she could play her stunts, but the problem was that Zou Ying had just been **, which was not conducive to running, so she stayed in Yiyang and assisted in defense with Huang Yueying.

Three days later, Wei Yan received a report from Wei Yu, the leader of the Wind Shadow, and learned that it was a man in a green robe who jumped up and down to hook up the seventeenth family of Nanyang County, and others called him Mr. Changyuan.

Wei Yan couldn't think of it for a while, and asked the seed artifact elf to be empty, and he didn't have a clue for the time being.

Wei Yan said secretly, Nima, I don't care if you are Mr. Changyuan or Mr. Kong Ming, Lao Tzu wants your dog's life!

The army has been marching towards Wancheng, Nanyang County.

Along the way, the snow gradually melted, and the road was a little muddy and a little slow

After two more days, the weather was warmer, the muddy roads slowly dried, and the march picked up.

The breath of early spring is not very strong, and the surrounding wilderness is still a piece of dead grass and leaves, and new shoots have not yet been seen.

According to the report of the Fengying Group's spies in Xiangyang, 30,000 Jingzhou troops were broken into pieces ten days ago, quietly left Xiangyang City, and rushed to Wancheng, but in recent days, none of the spies and scouts have been able to catch the movements of the 30,000 Jingzhou troops.

Wei Yan convened the generals to discuss the direction of the next march.

Xu Shu said: "Lord, the 30,000 Jingzhou army has only two directions, one is to unite with the coalition forces of the seventeen families to capture Wancheng, and the other is to sneak attack Yiyang New City while our army is far away from Yiyang New Town!" We have to discern the enemy's movements before we can decide on the next march. ”

Yu Ban sighed: "But these days, the 30,000 Jingzhou troops seem to have evaporated from the world, and they can't be found anywhere!" Now Wancheng is in danger, and our army can't wait here! ”

Xu Huang said: "But if the Jingzhou army's goal is Yiyang New Town, our army is light, and Yiyang New City only has 5,000 men, what if the Jingzhou army captures Yiyang New Town?" ”

Wei Yan looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, what is your good plan?" ”

Xu Shu thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know where the Jingzhou army is now, so I can't discern their movements, after all, it is possible for them to attack Wancheng and Yiyang New Town!" ”

Wei Yan asked Wei Yu: "Can you find out who is the commander of the Jingzhou Army?" ”

Wei Yu replied, "Liu Hu." ”

Wei Yan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it!" ”

Xu Shu said: "He is Liu Biao's nephew. ”

Wei Yan smiled: "Isn't Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Liu Biao has two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, who are very young now, and nephews Liu Pan and Liu Hu, both of whom are adults and have the name of bravery. At this time, Liu Pan and his subordinate Huang Zhong guarded Jingnan. Presumably, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were already frightened and did not dare to compete with the lord, so Liu Biao had to send his nephew Liu Hu to come. ”

Wei Yan asked Wei Yu again: "What generals are under Liu Hu?" ”

Wei Yu said: "There are Deng Ji and Han Xi. ”

For Wei Yan, the names of these two people were also unfamiliar, so he asked the seed artifact elf Kongkong: "What is the origin of these two people?" ”

Kongkong said: "Deng Jinai is a general under Liu Biao, who was stationed in Huyang in 197 years in history and was captured by Cao Cao. Historically, in the fourth year of Jian'an, Han Xi was sent by Liu Biao to lead 5,000 spearmen with Liu Biao's son Liu Hu to Jiangxia, as Jiangxia's Taishou Huangzu forward, arrived at Huangzu's Tunshaxian County to resist Sun Ce's attack, and fought for a day, but Sun Ce was defeated, the whole army was annihilated, and Han Xi and Liu Hu were killed. ”

Wei Yan said with a smile: "It's all wine bags and rice bags!" I want to know where Liu Hu, Deng Ji, and Han Xi are, and is there any way? ”

Kongkong smiled: "Actually, the seed artifact comes with a [search] function, which can help the lord search for the location of the seed, but it needs to cost different amounts of points each time. ”

Wei Yan said: "How many points do you need to search for the location of those three people?" ”

Empty Empty Road: "3000 points are enough." ”

Wei Yan said: "Then search for it." ”

After getting the directions of the three people searched in the air, Wei Yan showed a knowing smile on his face, and said to the generals: "Actually, the Jingzhou Army still has a tactical direction......

All the generals came to their senses and laughed.

The army continued to march in the direction of Wancheng.

A day later, they came to the front of a valley, and it was almost twilight, and the army was encamped.

The next day, Wei Yan's army slowly dismantled the camp tent and moved forward slowly.

On the barren mountain on the side of the valley, Liu Hu asked Han Xi: "Why is Wei Yanpifu marching so slowly, could it be that he found that our army is now ambushed here?" ”

Han Xi hurriedly said: "General rest assured, Mr. Changyuan has already arranged a follow-up move." ”

At this time, a cavalry rushed from the direction of Wancheng, he quickly whipped his horse, covered in blood, and shouted loudly: "Lord, Wancheng is in danger, General Li Yan asks the lord to reinforce quickly!" ”

Wei Yan glanced at the cavalryman, and then said, "You come closer, tell me in detail." ”

When the cavalry approached, Wei Yan suddenly turned over and fell off his horse, shouting, "There are assassins!" ”

Dian Wei stepped forward and captured the cavalryman.

Wei Yan seemed to have been stabbed by the assassin, stopped his march, and wanted to set up camp again.

Liu Hu and Han Xi were all dumbfounded: "What is the situation, then how did Mr. Changyuan send assassins here?" ”

"Wei Yan is injured, the army doesn't go forward, how can we ambush him?"

"Why don't we take advantage of Wei Yan's injury so that we can go down the mountain and rob the camp?"
