Yang Xizhi Chen Liu, originally thought that Cao Cao would lead the army to fight, but did not want Cao Cao to arrive in Pei County, so he was stationed there and did not advance eastward.

Cao Ying's three-way army and horses, and there was no news of the war, Yang Xi was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what time Cao Cao would have to wait.

The only one who made a move along the way was that Liu Bei led the army from Anlu and came to Xiling. Liu Bei came out of the nest, and An Lu did not leave any guards.

It seems that Zhuge Liang has seen Yang Xi's face clearly and knows that Yang Xi doesn't want to take any area of Jingzhou Jiangbei now. There is no way, whether it is Nanjun or Nanyang County, it is the hinterland of Jingzhou, and too many scholars are entrenched here, and if Yang Xi wants to occupy an area here, he has to kill it.

Six well-known families, including the Huang family, the Kuai family, the Cai family, the Pang family, the Ma family, and the Xi family, are all in Jingzhou, and Yang Xi feels like vomiting when he thinks about it, these families are all old and stubborn.

Huang's, Kuai's, Cai's, and Ponzi's, I won't talk about these four, but let's talk about Ma's and Xi's.

In the Ma family alone, there are five well-known scholars in the world, Ma Bochang, and Ma Liang's eldest brother. Ma Zhongchang, Ma Liang's second brother. Ma Shuchang, the third brother of Ma Liang. Ma Tan, the word is young, Ma Liangdi, this Ma Jian is the one who was killed later because of the loss of the street pavilion.

The five Ma Liang brothers are all talented and famous, and Ma Liang is the most outstanding among the five, so he has the praise of "Ma's five constants, the best white eyebrows", because Ma Liang's eyebrows are white, he is not a white eyebrow hero.

Xi's is also very powerful, starting from the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty Xiangyang Hou Xi Yu, and has been an official for generations. Xi Yu is in the south of Xiangyang Xian Mountain, according to the Fan Li fish farming method to make a fish pond, there is an embankment next to the pond, there are bamboo, catalpa, hibiscus, ling, and the gourd covered on the water surface, and it is called Xijia Pond.

This Xijia pool is incredible, and the history of 2,000 years still exists. It is one of the earliest garden buildings in China, rare in the country, and is known as the first country garden in China.

These six big clans, not to mention the population controlled by each big clan alone, just counting their officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are hundreds of people, each of them has some protégés or something, how many people Yang Xi has to kill.

Besides, I don't know how many people in Chenhe District have some unclear relationships with these families.

Yang Xi doesn't want to kill them now, he just wants to strengthen his own foundation, and when the time comes, he can isolate these families and let them turn from a majority to a minority.

With the strength of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, Yang Xi personally led an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, and it was not difficult to kill the generals in the north, and it was not difficult to get the whole Jingzhou, and it would be difficult to stabilize after the key was obtained, so it would not be beautiful.

But Liu Bei didn't know that Cao Cao and Yang Xi didn't do anything, and he himself led an army of 50,000 to Xiling. Mao Luan ordered Zhou Tai to lead the army and pass with his own commanders to resist the enemy, leaving only Huang Jie to lead 6,000 soldiers and horses to guard Xiling.

Wen Ping also crossed the river by boat, Chen Bing Xiakou, and Mao Luan were each other's horns.

Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan to lead their troops and horses to fight, but Mao Luan just stuck to the camp and did not fight.

Liu Bei asked Ji Kong Ming how to break the enemy, Kong Ming shook his feather fan and smiled: "Lord, this battle is going to surprise Yang Xi, and Liang has prepared a big gift for him." ”

"Gifts?" Liu Bei didn't know it yet.

Kong Ming said: "The lord waits, and the light is that someone will bring this thing to the lord to see." ”

Zhuge Liang ordered left and right to fetch the gift he was going to give to Yang Xi, and after a while, two sergeants came up and brought a huge bow.

When Liu Bei looked at it, he didn't know what kind of wood this bow was made of, but he knew that it was several times more complex than ordinary bows, and it was himself that it was a little difficult to pick it up.

"The lord and listen to Liang in detail, this thing is a pedal crossbow machine, which needs to be operated by at least two people, and its power is three or four times stronger than that of ordinary crossbow machines, and it can shoot a strong crossbow with a range of about three miles."

"A strong crossbow? If you look at the appearance of this object, it is so complex and huge that it is difficult to operate, so it should not be convenient to use on the battlefield, right? Liu Bei was puzzled.

Kong Ming said: "The lord's guess is good, this thing is indeed not suitable for use on the battlefield, but there is one place that is more important than the battlefield." ”

Kong Ming said, stretching out his hand and pointing to the sky.

Liu Bei suddenly realized at this time.

"Could it be?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing, and the others were inexplicable, only Liu Bei knew what he meant.

Xiling City, a mansion somewhere.

As the current head of the secret service group, Sangou is in charge of the world's news, and was awarded the rank of major general by Yang Xi, and now he is also complacent.

There are three brothers in the Three Dog family, the big dog was a slave in the Luo family before, and now Luo Lan is in Jiujiang County, the governor of Jiujiang, the big dog is naturally not low, and he is in charge of the construction department of Jiujiang County, which is a party figure. Ergou is currently the commander of the first regiment and also has the rank of colonel. But these two elder brothers are not as good as Sangou.

This time, Liu Bei's army attacked, and Sangou was responsible for the intelligence affairs of the commander-in-chief, and the news of the Jiangxia battlefield was all in charge of Sangou. Today, according to the usual practice, Sangou still wants to release the flying ball, and then summarize the news and send it to Maoluan's headquarters.

Twenty flying spheres are displayed in the martial arts field of the mansion school, and one hundred secret agents, each flying ball has a class of five people, responsible for an area, which is the custom.

The three dogs were bright, so they gathered twenty classes and lectured the whole team.

Flying ball reconnaissance, compared to ground reconnaissance work, seems dangerous, but in fact safe, this everyone knows that using the flying ball to attend is what every spy rushes to do.

Leaving today, Sangou's eyelids jumped, but he didn't care.

Murong Zixuan is the leader of the sixth squad, and there are many women in the special service group, just one hundred people, more than 20 of them are women, but Murong Zixuan is relatively strong, he has only been in the army for a year, and he is already the squad leader.

The ascension of the flying ball to heaven is a big event, and each team of the three dogs must check and encourage, and when it comes to the sixth class, the three dogs said earnestly: "Zixuan, do a good job, and when you successfully complete this task, I will give you another task." ”

Murong Zixuan straightened his big chest, saluted and said, "Thank you for the third regiment commander's allocation, you will definitely complete the task well." ”

Sangou nodded.

There were eight people in one flying ball, one controlling fire, two stepping on propellers, and five fighters, and Murong Zixuan controlled the steering wheel as usual.

The earth gradually faded away, Xiling City gradually became smaller, and beyond the top of the mountain, the flying ball went north.

Murong Zixuan held his binoculars and looked down carefully, and sure enough, he found that the enemy's camp tent, and even the people in the camp were clear.

Suddenly, a member of the team exclaimed: "Squad leader, look, which class is over there?" How did you get the reconnaissance range wrong? ”

Murong Zixuan hurriedly adjusted the direction of the telescope, and saw that there was a flying ball in front of him, the speed was extremely slow, and he didn't know the direction of its movement.

The flying ball is like this, the slow speed is not good, this is the only drawback.

"It's too far away, I can't see it clearly, it's a bit like the people in Class 7. Da Lei, come and see, you are more familiar with the seven classes. Murong Zixuan muttered as he watched, handing the telescope to a man in his twenties.

"Sister Murong, no, the observation area of Class 7 today is not in this direction at all, let me take a look." Da Lei took the telescope.

"Don't call me sister, I'm younger than you!" Murong Zixuan feigned anger and said: "I also remember that the reconnaissance area of the seventh class is thirty miles to the south, and we are in the north district at the moment, so far apart, the leader of the seventh squad has a poor sense of direction, right, can he join our group at this level?" ”

After watching it for a long time, Da Lei said: "No, it's not from Class 7." Hey, no, they have one more person than us on the ball, it seems like there are nine of them. ”

"What? Nine people? Murong Zixuan snatched the binoculars.
