Zhang Yi saw that the other party was overwhelmed and almost surrounded his own army at the core, and he was already frightened, and hurriedly ordered to retreat.

But Liu Qi and the others had already firmly fixed their eyes on him, how could they let him escape? Between the staggered war horses, Liu Qi had already lightly stretched his ape arm and captured that Zhang Yi.

Xu Shu lost no time in shouting: "The Lord will be captured, and those who descend will not die." ”

Zhang Yi was captured, and the soldiers under his command lost their fighting spirit when they saw this, some fled, some surrendered, and such a team quickly collapsed.

Liu Qi grabbed Zhang Yi and tied him up, and then asked, "What's your name?" What is your job in Changsha? ”

Zhang Yi was quite a bachelor, and said proudly: "Are you Liu Qi'er?" If you want to hear about my Changsha's military secrets, that's a dream, if you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to chop, why rap? ”

Liu Qi glanced at Zhang Yi and said with a smile: "Since you want to seek death, then the general will fulfill you, come on, pull this person out and cut down the sacrificial flag!" ”

"No." I saw the two big men say in response, lifting Zhang Yi aside as if they were carrying chickens, and then took the big knife in their hands and gestured a few times at Zhang Yi's neck.

After feeling the cold blade, the arrogance in Zhang Yi's chest immediately dissipated, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly shouted like a pig: "Don't kill me, I said, the villain is Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, was ordered to ambush the general here, but he didn't expect the general to be clever, he had already expected the villain to make such a move, but instead came to a counter-ambush, and captured or took the villain, the villain has finally seen the general's bravery, and will no longer intervene in the general as the enemy, as long as the general is willing to let me go, I will definitely go into the city, Persuade my father to surrender to you. ”

"Tell me, how many men are there in the city? What about reality and fiction? Liu Qi looked at Zhang Yi, who was wet under him, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, don't hide it from the general, there are still 30,000 soldiers and horses in Changsha City, including 8,000 cavalry and 22,000 infantry. There is a lot of grain and grass, enough for our army to support us for a year or two. Also, my father was originally just resentful of the state pastor, but a literati named Huanjie came and persuaded my father to defect to Cao Gong, but the villain desperately opposed it at that time, but he didn't imagine that his father was deceived by the traitor Huan Jie, and he couldn't listen to it at all. ”

"Who are the generals in the city?" Liu Qi didn't take the other party's words of persuasion at all as a thing, and hurriedly asked.

"There are two Zhonglang generals in the city, namely Han Xuan and Huang Zhong, one captain, named Du Xian, in addition to the main book named Huanjie, the others are all unknowns, don't mention it."

"What? There are so many celebrities in Changsha City? Liu Qi couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and then his heart was also full of worries, this Han Xuan is not enough, Huang Zhong's bravery, Huanjie's wisdom, and Du Xi's ability and political integrity cannot be ignored, once their talents are fully borrowed, coupled with the fact that the Changsha soldiers are well fed, it will be difficult for them to seize Yuxian this time, and it will be difficult to even return to Wuling.

However, Liu Qi was not too worried, but his heart was full of fighting spirit, and he was ready to fight with these celebrities for intelligence and courage.

"I don't believe it, the generals in my hands are all first-class generals, and the wise are even more first-class talents, plus I can let my subordinates give full play to their talents in the realm of ministers and generals, is it not as good as you?"

Liu Qi ordered someone to tie up Zhang Yi, and then quickly rushed to the vicinity of Linxiang with the troops he had just recruited, making it look like he was going to attack Linxiang.

Those soldiers who fled back to Linxiang had already passed the news of Zhang Yi's defeat and capture to Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian was shocked when he heard this, on the one hand, he was worried about the safety of his son Zhang Yi, on the other hand, he deployed the city defense of Changsha, and at the same time ordered the reinforcements from various counties and Guiyang and Lingling counties to rush to Linxiang to support, preparing to defend Changsha.

At this moment, Huanjie offered a plan to ask Zhang Xian to send a team to support Yuxian as soon as possible, so as not to be attacked by Liu Qi and fall into passivity. Zhang Xian didn't listen, but said: "Sir's words are wrong, we have received accurate information, Liu Qi's army is coming in the direction of Linxiang, Yiyang County ordered to surrender directly, even if our army is surrounded by the other party, how dare we divide our troops to resist the enemy?" What's more, although Yuxian is dangerous, if our army is attacked inside and outside, the other party will inevitably not be able to hold it for a long time, and Liu Qi also knows how to use troops, how can he make such a decision? Therefore, as long as our army sticks to Linxiang, the enemy army will not dare to make any changes. ”

Huan Jie was helpless, sighed and retreated, and said to Huang Zhong and Du Xi: "We will eventually be captured by Liu Qi, rather than this, it is better to think of retreating now." ”

Huang Zhong said loudly when he heard this: "Although the two of you can protect themselves wisely, it is not taken by the righteous. Master Huan persuaded Zhang Taishou to surrender, but now he left rashly, which is really unjust. What's more, as long as the two of them don't leave for a day, the three counties still belong to Cao Gong, once they leave, the last general is afraid that Zhang Taishou will surrender immediately, so that the hard work of the two gentlemen for many days will not be in vain? How will the two of you see Cao Gong in the future? ”

Huang Zhong's words made the two of them feel guilty in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "Old General Hansheng is right. ”

Huan Jie thought for a while, and then said: "Then we can't sit back and watch the destruction, it's better to do this, we persuade Zhang Taishou to connect with the Changsha barbarians first, and ask them to send troops to Yuannan with a lot of money, Liu Qi heard the news, and must withdraw the troops, so that the siege of Yuxian can be solved, and we will lay an ambush on the way, so that Liu Qi can be captured." ”

When Huang Zhong and Du Xian heard this, their eyes lit up, and they clapped their hands and smiled: "It's really a good plan, the art of war says, attacking it will be saved, this is Sun Bin's plan to save Zhao when he surrounded Wei." Although the other party knew that this was our army's plan, they also had to save it. ”

Huan Jie smiled slightly, but said again: "But we can't take it lightly, Xu Shu is a wise man, the last time was to break Zhang Yi's ambush, this time we can't repeat the mistakes of the past, we need to send a brave warrior to set up an ambush." ”

After finishing speaking, a pair of eyes looked at Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "Naturally, there is no problem for the last general to fight, but I don't know if Lord Taishou agrees?" Without his orders, who of us could take a single soldier with him? ”

Huan Jie smiled: "We only said that we can rescue Gongzi, and Taishou will definitely send troops there." ”

Huang Zhong's eyes lit up, and he was immediately impressed, so he planned carefully with Du Xi and Huanjie.

Half a day later, Huang Zhong and the other three jointly met with Zhang Xian and asked Changsha to march into Yuannan. Zhang Xian only thought about it for a while, then agreed, and at Du Xi's request, he sent him as a messenger to bring a lot of money to ask Changsha to send troops to Yuannan.

Then Huang Zhongyi rescued his son Zhang Yi in the name of asking to lead a group of soldiers and horses to ambush Liu Qi's army.

This time Zhang Xian thought for a long time, but finally did not agree, because he had always firmly believed that Liu Qi was going to attack Linxiang, and he must ensure that the whole army would concentrate a defensive force before Liu Qi attacked Linxiang, and unless it was certain that Liu Qi's army would not attack Linxiang, not a single soldier would be allowed to leave the city.

Huang Zhong and Huanjie considered that it would not be too late to deploy defenses even after Liu Qi captured Youxian, so they had to reluctantly obey the order and wait for the news that Liu Qi's army crossed Linxiang to attack Youxian.

Liu Qi naturally would not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and led the army to Linxiang City, but symbolically launched a siege battle during the day, and rushed to the direction of Youxian County overnight.

Although Liu Qi's army only had an empty camp left, it was also full of flags and straw men, so it was not until noon the next day that the Linxiang spies found that the army had quietly evacuated Linxiang.

It was only at this time that Zhang Xian completely reacted, and it turned out that Liu Qi's real purpose was really to attack Youxian. On the one hand, he admired Huanjie's materiality like a god, and on the other hand, he also secretly admired Liu Qi's audacity and daring to occupy Youxian County.

Zhang Xian, who came to his senses, immediately ordered Huang Zhong to prepare an ambush and launch an attack when Liu Qi led his army to pass by.

It's just that Zhang Xian reacted a little late, because Liu Qitong guò 300 miles of rapid march, had arrived at the city of Yuxian four days later, and used Zhang Yi to open the city gate, led the army to rush up, occupied the traffic artery of Youxian, and divided Changsha, Guilin, and Lingling into three parts, especially Lingling County was completely isolated.

When he occupied Yuxian, Zhang Xian didn't think this place was very important, but once he lost it, he really discovered the importance of this place, on the one hand, he secretly hated Liu Qi's vicious eyes, and he knew the strategic significance of this place better than himself, and on the other hand, he contacted Guiyang County through the guò waterway, and ordered Guiyang Taishou Zhao Fan to reoccupy Yuxian County at any cost.

At the same time, Du Xian also met with the leader of Changsha Man, and after some secret negotiations and Zhang Xian's intentional release, Changsha Man also came to the city of Yuannan half a month later and began to launch a fierce attack on Yuannan.

Zhang Xian deliberately spread the news to Youxian County, expecting Liu Qi to leave Youxian County and go to Yuannan to support, but after waiting for half a month, he received the news that Liu Qi did not send a single soldier, but strengthened the defense in Youxian County and prepared to hold on.

"Ordered Huang Zhong to immediately lead the army to attack Yuannan, and at the same time ordered Lingling Liu Du to immediately lead his troops to attack Yuxian County, and at the same time, Ben will give Du 10,000 troops to attack Youxian County, and attack Youxian together, I don't believe it, and the 50,000 or 60,000 troops of the three roads will attack Yuxian at the same time, and they will not be able to attack him."

Zhang Xian almost fell into madness, and immediately shouted loudly and gave the order.

"Now Lord Taishou is finally on the road, although it is a little late, but it is not too late, as he said, fifty or sixty thousand troops besiege Yuxian, if it can't be captured, then it is really blamed for the incompetence of our army. And Yuannan City, there are 50,000 or 60,000 Changsha barbarians and 10,000 Huang Zhong's army, I believe that they will definitely be able to capture this city in a short time, but it is a pity that such a traffic fortress was handed over to the barbarians, I should find a way to take it into my own hands again, in this way, I am afraid that even the entire Wuling will not be difficult to be reoccupied by our army. ”

A glint flashed in Huanjie's eyes, and he began to carefully plan his next plan.
