Under the prodding of Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Yue, Huang Zu and others, Liu Biao finally made up his mind, except for Liu Pan and Huang Zhong's troops stationed in Jingnan, other counties and counties all transferred men and horses, gathered into 80,000 horses, led by him personally, besieged Yiyang New City, and completely pulled out Wei Yan's thorn in the eye!

The high-level undercover Yi who was lurking in Xiangyang quickly spread the news that Liu Biao and Cao Cao's alliance had sent troops, one to Wei Yan in Huainan, and one to Huang Yueying in Yiyang New Town.

Before Wei Yan went to Huainan, there were four generals who stayed in the rear who had decision-making power, one was Li Yan in Wancheng, and the other was Deng Zhi in Yiyang New Town.

After Huang Yueying learned the news of Liu Biao's troops, she decisively made the decision to clear the wilderness, give up a number of county seats, and lure Jingzhou soldiers to Yiyang New Town.

Someone questioned, Huang Yueying said: "In accordance with the military thinking of the lord, we must concentrate our forces, even when we are defending, we must concentrate our forces, and we must not give the enemy every chance to break through......

The questioners had nothing to say, before that, Wei Yan had told them about such strategies and tactics countless times, and they immediately woke up.

Besides, it won't be much of a loss to give up those towns, because Liu Biao's army is Jingzhou soldiers, and Nanyang County and Yiyang County are also subordinate to Jingzhou.

Liu Biao's 80,000 men and horses swept all the way and were invincible, because Wei Yan's men and horses did not fight them at all, and all of them withdrew in advance, most of them withdrew to Yiyang New Town, and a few men and horses withdrew to Wancheng.

Suddenly, Liu Biao's men and horses recovered more than a dozen county seats, and they were full of ambition.

Originally, Liu Biao wanted to divide the army into two ways, all the way to Wancheng, all the way to Yiyang City, but Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Liu Hu and others had seen the solidity of Yiyang City and Wancheng, and they all persuaded him that if the soldiers were divided into two roads, then neither city could be taken, and now Wei Yan's soldiers' wives and concubines, children, and the gold and silver treasures of Yancai Qianzhuang are all in Yiyang City, if Yiyang City is taken, it is equivalent to cutting off Wei Yan's roots.

So, the army of 80,000 came to Yiyang New Town.

When they arrived in Yiyang New Town, Huang Zu also sent 20,000 horses from Jiangxia to join Liu Biao.

They joined forces in one place, with a total of 100,000 horses, in fact, more than thirty percent of them were soldiers from various families, and they were all dissatisfied with Wei Yan's policies, and at the same time, they were also dissatisfied with Wei Yan's control of their trade routes to the north, so they were so generous to take out the troops at the bottom of the box to crusade against Wei Yan with Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao arrived at the bottom of Yiyang New City and looked up, he understood why Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Huang Jie had no choice but to besiege Yiyang New Town for so long, and why Cao Cao would rather ambush Wei Yan than besiege Yiyang New City with him, because this Yiyang New City is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, not only is it surrounded by water on three sides, the city is high and the moat is deep, but also has a strange fortress design, no matter where it is attacked, it will be attacked from both sides.

But he has already come to Yiyang New Town, he can't return in vain, so he can only let 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers launch wave after wave of attacks.

One day, two days...... 10 days...... One month...... For a whole month, Liu Biao lost more than 30,000 horses, and most of the remaining 60,000 horses were injured.

Moreover, Liu Biao also found that the Wei army in the city seemed to be getting braver and braver!

It turned out that with the issuance of the tactical order to concentrate troops in Jianbi Qingye, the defenders and Tuntian soldiers of various counties all withdrew to Yiyang New Town, so that there were more than 20,000 regular troops and 60,000 Tuntian soldiers in Yiyang New Town, and the combat power of the Tuntian soldiers had surpassed Liu Biao's newly recruited Jingzhou soldiers, and the combat power of the regular army was even more able to crush them.

In Liu Biao's original intelligence, there were only more than 5,000 regular troops in Yiyang New Town, and where did he think that there were more than 80,000 real troops inside.

When Liu Biao heard that Cao Cao was defeated by Wei Yan, he was even more interested in retreating, but at this time, he heard a news that Wei Yan divided his troops into two routes, bypassing Yiyang New City, attacking Xiangyang City all the way and Jiangxia City all the way.

At that time, Liu Biao was taken aback: "There are only a few thousand soldiers and horses left behind in Xiangyang, it is too dangerous, I want to withdraw my troops as soon as possible......"

Huang Zu was also shocked: "I only left more than 3,000 horses in Jiangxia, and I also withdrew my troops......"

Kuai Yue laughed loudly: "Lord, Huang Taishou, don't panic, Wei Yan doesn't have a naval army, how can he cross the Han River to threaten Xiangyang City and Jiangxia City (Huang Zu has already turned Jiangxia County into Shaxian on the south bank of the Yangtze River), I expect that Wei Yan's division of troops is not to attack Xiangyang City and Jiangxia City, but to do Sun Bin's plan, we can't be Pang Juan's second." ”

Liu Biao and Huang Zu both knew that Sun Bin's plan was to encircle Wei to save Zhao and then ambush him.

Sun Bin used the tactics of besieging Wei to save Zhao for the second time, and led his army to attack Daliang, the capital of Wei. When Pang Juan heard the news, he hurriedly withdrew his troops from Korea and returned to Wei, but the Qi army had already marched west by this time. Sun Bin considered that the Wei army would despise the Qi army because of its own bravery, and the Qi army also had a reputation for cowardice, so he should use the tactic of luring the enemy into the ambush circle and annihilate it. Sun Bin ordered the Qi army entering the territory of Wei to bury 100,000 cooking stoves on the first day, reduce it to 50,000 on the second day, and 30,000 on the third day. Pang Juan was very happy after marching for three days to check the stove left by the Qi army, and said: "I knew that the Qi army was cowardly, and it was only three days after entering the territory of Wei, and most of the Qi soldiers had already fled. So he abandoned the infantry and led only the elite cavalry to pursue the Qi army day and night. Sun Bin estimated that Pang Juan could march to Maling in the dark, the road in Maling was narrow, and there were many steep and dangerous obstacles on both sides, so Sun Bin ordered the soldiers to cut off the bark of the big tree next to the road, revealing the white wood, and wrote on the tree "Pang Juan died under this tree", and then ordered 10,000 crossbowmen to ambush on both sides of Maling Road, agreeing that "if you can see fire here in the dark, ten thousand arrows will be fired." Pang Juan really rushed to the bark of the tree that night, and saw the writing on the white wood, so he lit a fire to check. Before the words were finished, the Qi army ambushed thousands of arrows, and the Wei army was in chaos. Pang Juan knew that the defeat was decided, so he drew his sword and killed himself, and said before he died: "Then he became the name of the erector!" "The Qi army pursued the victory, annihilated the Wei army of 100,000 people, and captured the crown prince Shen, the chief general of the Wei state. After this war, the Wei state was greatly damaged and lost its hegemony, while the Qi state dominated the east.

Both of them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Kuai Yue said again: "Lord, Huang Taishou, I got a confidential news, now after Wei Yan sent two large armies, he only has 5,000 men and horses around him, and he is in Langling County, our army might as well abandon Yiyang New City and attack Langling, as long as Wei Yan is captured, Wei Yan's power will definitely collapse!" ”
