Back to the end of the first month, Yang Xi returned to Jiangxia.

Liu Cong led 40,000 soldiers and horses to Jiangxia Anlu, and Liu Qi had 10,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 50,000 troops and horses.

Before Liu Cong sent out his troops, he had already listened to Cai Mao's suggestion, led the Chinese army by himself, guarded Anlu, and the governor of various roads and allocated grain and grass.

As for the vanguard, of course, there are Liu Qi and Liu Bei.

Liu Cong ordered Liu Bei to lead 10,000 troops, Liu Qi to lead 10,000 headquarters, and Guan Zhang Zhao to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses each to kill Xiling.

Thirty-five thousand is definitely a huge number, and it takes several days to count.

When Yang Xi learned of the situation, he personally led 29,000 soldiers and horses in the Jiangxia Theater to camp in Xiling, and transferred Gao Shun's camp to call it at any time.

At the same time, Cao Cao led 50,000 troops, and Xiahoudun, Cao Chun, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Li Dian, Xu Chu and other generals accompanied the army. Cao's army marched from Runan and went south to Chenbing, Xincai, and Ruyin counties. Zhang He led 20,000 troops to defend Ruyin, but it was to prevent Jiujiang and Ganning from crossing the Huaishui River and cutting off the back road.

Cai Kao led 18,000 people, stationed in Tatexian County, Yangquan along the Huai River, Ganning 9,000 troops in the lower Cai Yingshui into the Huaishui section, the two armies are each other's horns.

At the same time, Yang Xi ordered Tai Shici to secretly set off from Guangling County by railroad track to Lujiang Cai Kao Department to assist in defense.

On the first day of the first month of February, Liu Beijun went to Xiling, and went down to the village 30 miles outside Xiling, and the company camped for more than 10 miles.

Liu Beiying, Kong Ming, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Liu Qi are all there.

Liu Bei said: "Now that the two armies are facing each other, Yang Xi's strength should not be underestimated, but what is the best strategy for the military division to break the enemy." ”

Kong Ming said: "The other army has a flying ball, which can spy on the movements of our army, if you want to use the ambush strategy, but it is impossible, you can only rely on the courage of the generals, attack first tomorrow, and try the reality of the other army." The lord can order the three generals of Zhang Zhao, each leading the troops into three roads, respectively, attacking the three passes, if you can break one road, then you can cover the past along the road, pointing directly to the city of Xiling, if not, then retreat to the formation, and then try a good strategy. ”

Liu Bei said: "It can only be like this, Yang Xi is a strange talent, and he can create such a divine object as the Flying Ball, but it is not easy to do." ”

Kong Ming said: "Don't worry, my lord, in the past six months, Liang is studying the scroll produced by Yang Chenhe, but Liang has seen a trace of mystery, and in a few days, Liang will be able to start experimenting with this thing, which will close the gap between the enemy and our army." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Kong Mingguo is also a god!" ”

Zhang Fei muttered: "Then Yang Chenhe, isn't he the teacher of gods and men?" ”

Zhang Fei's voice was already different from ordinary people, although he could lower his voice at this time, everyone present could hear it clearly, Kong Ming's face turned red, Guan Yu hurriedly continued: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense, the military advisor is Yang Xi, and he is just different." ”

Kong Ming said: "Yang Xi's talent, is indeed far better than Liang, but manpower is sometimes exhausted, no matter how smart people are, but it is difficult to win the sky, as far as Liang knows, the flying ball can only travel in the sunny day, if it rains, it can not fly, bright to watch the sky, three days later, there will be rain, the generals are only ready, then Liang Zidang sent a big gift to the other army." ”

Yang Xi naturally didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would look at some of the physical foundations he had come up with, etc., and he would realize a lot of truths, and he would definitely cry out for demons.

However, this is not surprising, the prototype of the hot air balloon originally came from Zhuge Liang, and it is normal for it to be derived from the real thing made by Yang Xi at this moment.

On the second day, Yang Xi was in the camp to deal with news from all over the country, and three dogs came to report, saying that Liu Bei's soldiers were killed in three ways, Guan Yu in the middle, Zhao Yun on the left, and Zhang Fei on the right, each leading about 5,000 troops to fight.

Yang Xi ordered that all departments would not be able to defend it, regardless of the other party's fighting.

Mao Luan and Zhou Tai had an order, just restrain the military horses to refuse, and the three-way military horses scolded for a day, and returned in vain.

For three consecutive days, the three military horses called for battle, but there was no official contact.

That night, Liu Bei raised the account again.

Liu Bei said: "Yang Xi guards all the passes, but he can't keep it, but why? ”

Kong Ming said: "Yang Xi must have deceived our army from afar, and the grain and grass are not good, and he wants to drag down the lord with this, but the lord has the son Liu Cong, the governor of grain and grass, but he is not afraid of him. ”

On the fourth day, it rained lightly, and the weather in February, if it rained, it was not a day or two to stop, Yang Xi got up early to look at the sky and shook his head.

"When it rains, this tent can't rely on hot air balloons, you have to rely on real skills, but Kong Ming, I know you too well, I will go out to fight today, kill you for a while, and see what countermeasures you come up with tomorrow."

didn't wait for Yang Xi to rest more, as if there were military horses as if they had stepped on time, Yang Xi was on this road, but it was Zhang Fei who came.

Zhang Fei called the formation, Yang Xi was draped, and Zhang Fei was a little surprised.

The two armies faced each other, Yang Xi said: "Today is Yide here, what's the matter, your brother came for no reason, is he trying to rob my Chenhe Chamber of Commerce Chenhe wine?" If this is the case, Yide wants to drink, and someone sends a letter, and I will send it, why do you bring so many military horses to get it? ”

Zhang Fei knew that he couldn't say anything about Yang Xi, so he just shouted: "Chenhe, I was defeated by you on the boat last time, but it was because I didn't bring my Zhangba snake spear, but today I want to really fight with you, determine the winner or loser, and decide whether to win or lose." ”

Yang Xi saw that Zhang Fei didn't pick up the stubble, so he just wanted to fight, so he also dressed up his armor and patted his horse and gun.

The two of them fought seventy or eighty times, and they couldn't distinguish between the superior and the inferior, Zhang Fei was arrogant again, opened his eyes, shook the leopard's head, and raised his combat power to a higher level.

Yang Xi secretly accumulated strength, but did not fight with him, just waiting for the final blow.

The two fought two lilies again, and they came and went, which was extremely exciting.

After fighting to the third lily, Zhang Fei saw that he couldn't take Yang Xi, and when he looked at Yang Xi's main formation, Gao Shun was about to move, and his heart suddenly burst.

Yang Xi saw the opportunity but it was a shot, almost taking advantage of Zhang Fei's inattention, almost knocked down his spear, Zhang Fei made a false move, slapped the horse and left, and shouted loudly: "I will fight here today, and I will come tomorrow to learn Chenhe's high moves." ”

Zhang Fei retreated, Yang Xi did not chase, returned to the formation, Gao Shun said: "Why doesn't Gongzi chase, if you order to pursue, you will definitely be able to win a small victory." ”

Yang Xidao: "A small victory is meaningless, he will come again tomorrow, but there will be a good show to watch at that time." ”

But he said that Zhang Fei returned to his own position, and he was sullen, although he didn't lose today, he actually knew that he had lost a move.

It was supposed to be a draw, but at the end of the battle, when I saw Gao Shun trapped in the camp, I was cowardly, but there was a moment of trance, and the master made a move, how could it be like this.

Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei's expression was different today, so he asked the reason, and Zhang Fei was not afraid of Kong Ming and others being present, and told him about today's events.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun didn't care, this is normal, Yang Xi's strength, they already knew.

Liu Bei spoke comfortably, only Kong Ming sat on the side, smiling.

Liu Bei said: "Does the military advisor have a strategy to break the enemy, why do you smile and don't say anything." ”

Kong Ming said: "Liang has a plan, and he may be able to break the enemy tomorrow." ”

Kong Ming said this, and everyone looked at Kong Ming.

Kong Ming said: "General Zhang's battle today has paved the way for tomorrow's plan. Tomorrow, General Zhang can continue to lead the headquarters to fight, fight three lilies, lose another move, lead the army back, if he pursues, then all the way back, if he does not chase, then return to the horse and kill again, but only need to lose and not win, lead Yang Xi to lead the troops to chase. General Guan led a road of soldiers and horses on the left, and General Zhao led a road of soldiers and horses on the right, and the two armies were ambushed, and the other army was defeated. But I am afraid that Yang Xi will see through the strategy, and he can lead Liu Qi Gongzi to lead 10,000 troops and horses in the headquarters to ambush on the periphery. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but be amazed when he heard it, so he made a plan.
