When Liu Biao's Jingzhou army fled to the vicinity of Yiyang New Town, there were only more than 20,000 remnants left in the 60,000-strong army, most of whom were wounded and exhausted.

Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao and Zhang Yun angrily, if it weren't for these two bastards repeatedly pouting, he wouldn't have sent troops in such a hurry, this is good, the family is about to run out.

Of course, he knew that the culprit was Wei Yan, if Wei Yan was content with the status quo like Zhang Xiu and obediently became a household dog, he would not use troops to the north, but Wei Yan developed too fast, and he was ambitious, in order to avoid Wei Yan from occupying his Jingzhou in the future, he had to strike first, but militarily, he still lacked Wei Yan too much.

They didn't want to pass through Yiyang New Town, for fear of being intercepted by the Wei army in Yiyang New Town, but Wei Yan's brave cavalry was more threatening, so they could only run to a place that was not a plain suitable for cavalry, and as a result, they could only run outside Yiyang New Town.

When Liu Biao led his troops through Yiyang New Town, he saw that the head of Yiyang New City was silent and there was no movement, he thought that he had stormed Yiyang New City these days, consuming the troops inside, making the Wei army in Yiyang New City unable to send troops to intercept.

He immediately put his heart down, but he continued to move forward for dozens of miles, passing through a dense forest, and killing the Wei army from both sides of the forest, Liu Biao could only continue to scream: "Retreat!" Evacuate! ”

But Liu Biao didn't run far before he was caught up by Wenpin.

Liu Biao looked back and scolded angrily: "Wen Ping, I am your old master, you just betray the master, do you still want to kill the master!" ”

Wen Ping snorted coldly: "In the past, I was your subordinate, how did you treat me, and what kindness do you have that I remember?" Now that you have come to invade my lord's territory, you are our enemy, and I will kill the enemy lord and make meritorious deeds, why not! ”

Saying that, he slapped the horse and raised the gun, and went straight to Liu Biao.

At this time and at that time, in history, Wenpin was loyal to Liu Biao, and it was later that Liu Biao did promote him and reuse him, but Wenpin in 196 was undoubtedly treated slowly by Liu Biao, not to mention any kindness, nor much loyalty!

Liu Biao's nephew Liu Hu escaped with his life before, and this time in order to cover Liu Biao, he went straight to Wenpin: "Back to the master and traitor, take your life!" ”

Before that, when Wen Ping was still under Liu Biao, Liu Hu thought that he was Liu Biao's nephew, where would he take a low-level military general like Wen Ping in his eyes.

But now, he walked less than five rounds in front of Wen Ping's horse before he was picked off the horse by Wen Ping's shot.

The final ambush of the 30,000 armies of Wenpin, Manzhong, and Deng Zhi made Liu Biao flee to Xiangyang with more than 20,000 men and horses, and only 8,000 men and horses.

At this time, Wei Yan's brigade of cavalry rushed to Yiyang New Town, and Wei Yan originally wanted to enter the city to rest.

Xu Shu admonished: "Lord, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and advance Jingxiang?" ”

Wei Yan shook his head: "Yuan Zhi, I naturally want to take down the entire Jingzhou, but there are still eight counties in Jingzhou, Liu Biao still has a population of millions, and hundreds of thousands of reserve troops, I am afraid that I will not be able to swallow it for a while, and I will choke myself to death, just like Sun Jian!" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Lord, a large piece of fat meat naturally can't be swallowed in one bite, but if we take a bite today and a bite tomorrow, sooner or later, we will still be able to swallow this big fat meat!" ”

When Wei Yan heard Xu Shu say this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Yuanzhi, what do you think?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Lord, if our army continues to chase and kill, not only Liu Biao will not be able to escape, but the Jingzhou army in various cities north of Hanshui, especially Fancheng, will be shocked and abandon the city, if all the cities north of Hanshui are occupied, the next step is Xiangyang, and it will be a big step forward from the goal of the lord to take Jingzhou!" ”

Wei Yan nodded and praised: "Yuan Zhi Gao sees that if you want to take Jingzhou, you must first take Xiangyang, and if you want to take Xiangyang, you must first take Fancheng!" ”

At this time, the gate of Yiyang New Town, which had been closed for more than a month, was opened again, and Man Pet led his troops out of the city to welcome Wei Yan's arrival.

Full of pets bowed down and praised with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord for defeating Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, and the sound shocks the world!" ”

Wei Yanfei dismounted, came to Man Pet, patted Man Pet's shoulder, and sighed: "Bo Ning, you have kept Yiyang New City with a regular army of less than 10,000, and dragged Liu Biao's 100,000 army, if you don't sit in Yiyang, how can you fight against Cao Cao with peace of mind." ”

was appreciated by Wei Yan, and his haggard and tired face also showed great relief and emotion.

Man Zhong said: "Now that the Jingzhou army has been defeated and retreated, and the siege of Yiyang has been resolved, the lord might as well enter the city, let the soldiers rest for a few days, and wait for a few days to rest, and then it is not too late to crusade against Liu Biao!" ”

Wei Yan smiled faintly: "It's not too late to rest when all the Jingzhou troops are driven to the south of Hanshui!" ”

Wei Yan rectified 20,000 elite horsemen and continued to pursue.

Huang Zu originally wanted to divide his troops with Liu Biao, but he thought about it, and went south from Yiyang New Town, over the mountains and mountains for hundreds of miles, if he was ambushed by the Wei army again, he didn't know if he still had his life, so it was better to follow Liu Biao to Xiangyang, and then take a big boat, go down the river, and return to Jiangxia.

So, Huang Zu and Liu Biao fled to Xiangyang together.

Wei Yan led 20,000 elite horsemen, and chased after him, only to see that on the way to Xiangyang, there were abandoned weapons, armor, flags, gongs and drums, and even a lot of grain and grass.

Looking further south, I saw the Jingzhou army fleeing in a hurry like a lost dog.

Wei Yan instigated the black horse under his crotch, waved the red blood knife, and roared: "Brothers of the Wei family, rush with me, let Liu Biao's old thing know that our Wei family army is powerful!" ”

20,000 elite horsemen galloped up, and the horse's hooves kicked up the smoke and dust in the sky, making the world change color!

20,000 elite horsemen shouted "kill" in unison, and the sound of killing was earth-shattering.

Among the Jingzhou army deserters, Liu Biao was shouting, letting the Jingzhou soldiers in front of him disperse and let him escape first.

The Yi nationality who followed Liu Biao saw Liu Biao's panicked appearance, not like a master at all, and couldn't help but be even more glad that he had secretly taken refuge in Wei Yan.

When Liu Biao was shouting for the front army to separate, he suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing behind him, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look, and suddenly the whole person was like falling into an ice cave!

At this moment, fear took over all his mind, he forgot his identity as the coach, and he actually shouted in horror: "Wei Yan! It's Wei Yan's iron horse! ”

The soldiers of the Jingzhou army heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing, and when they looked back, they saw the Wei army's elite cavalry in the billowing smoke and dust like a tiger out of the cage, and the accumulated fear of being chased and killed along the way was magnified to the apex at this time, and they all lost their voices and shouted: "Wei Yan is here!" ”

"Wei Yan's iron horseman, run away!"

The Jingzhou army, which was already in chaos, was even more chaotic, and everyone was shouting in horror, all of them hugging their heads.

Liu Biao also galloped like an ordinary soldier, Kuai Yue hurriedly pulled the reins of his horse and said something to him: "Lord, if there is no army to stop the enemy, but let the enemy pursue like this, we will soon be caught up by Wei Yan!" ”
