Liu Bei's quick movements!

Cao Peng couldn't help frowning, twisting into a Sichuan shape. He shook his head again and again, looking a little helpless...... He really didn't expect that Liu Bei would have such courage. The two counties were lost, and there was no hesitation. Cao Peng originally planned to let Wei Yan drag Chen Zhi and Lu Ji to the two, and then the troops went out of Nanshan and stationed in Yushui, forming a threatening posture to Wancheng.

In theory, Cao Peng didn't really want to fight with Liu Bei.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to show an attitude that would cause turmoil in the Wancheng area.

After Liu Bei lost thirty grains of grain and grass, there would inevitably be a shortage of grain and grass. When the time comes, he only needs to add a fire to make the situation in Wancheng turbulent, and he can shake Liu Bei's military heart. At the same time, Tunzha Yushui can force the grain road from Wancheng to Bowang to be extended, which will inevitably cause many problems. Even if Cao Peng doesn't storm Wancheng, Liu Bei may not be able to support it for too long......

But who would have expected that Liu Bei would give up Bowang and Xi'e!

The result of this was that Liu Bei shrank into Wancheng and strengthened the deployment of troops along the thorny water.

It can't help but shorten the distance of the grain road, save the distance of transporting grain, and at the same time, it can also take this means to deter the powerful in the Wancheng area.

What a strong man broke his wrist!

Liu Bei is really decisive......

Changed to Cao Peng, if he stood in Liu Bei's position, he would think that he didn't have this kind of courage.

Don't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, this is the person who does great things. Two county seats, more than 100,000 people, this guy said don't want it, there is no mud and water. Cao Peng couldn't help but shake his head bitterly. Liu Bei's move came out, making all his previous calculations go down the drain.

"Tell the chief to pause the attack.

Let him stay in the sunset and camp on the north bank of Yushui. ”

Wancheng is now a turtle shell, and it is very difficult to attack it.

It is even very likely that there will be a loss of troops and a loss of generals, which is definitely not the result that Cao Peng expected.

Stationed at the sunset gathering, *** Yushui upstream ferry. You can attack Wancheng when you enter, and you can defend Bowang when you retreat. With Wei Yan's ability, he can create a lot of trouble for Liu Bei. However, Wei Yan's troops and horses alone were obviously not enough to deal with Liu Bei. After Cao Peng arranged it, he ordered Wu Yin to order Lu Chang to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses out of Nanshan, echoing the sunset and forming a flanking attack on Wancheng......

"How much military rations are there?"

"It can still support 30,000 soldiers and horses for three months."

"Not enough!"

Cao Peng thought about it in his heart, "Immediately report to Xu Du and ask Xun Shizhong to transfer ten grains and grass from Yingchuan to hoard Luyang."

Zilu, you immediately give me an order to levy conscription.

On the grounds that Liu Xuande lightly started the war and disturbed Nanyang, he recruited troops from the entire Nanyang. I will order the Zijia family to fully cooperate with you, and from now on, Nanyang Pravda will be changed from 10 days to 3 days, and the number will be increased from 500 to 1,000 copies, and it will be distributed to the entire Jingzhou. I must create this momentum for me, so that everyone knows that this is not my fault, but Liu Xuande's sin......"

When the sheep heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and responded.

After the sheep left, Cao Peng sat down and tapped his forehead lightly, revealing a look of exhaustion.

"Uncle, is there another war?"

Deng Ai's immature voice sounded in Cao Peng's ears.

He opened his eyes suddenly, glanced up at Deng Ai, and nodded lightly after a while, "Xiao Ai, Ming*** with Aunt Yueying and Aunt Xiahou, left Wuyin and temporarily lived in Zhongyang Town. In the future, I am afraid that there will be no peace and it will not be a livable place. When you arrive in Zhongyang Town, just study hard...... I will hand over the white camel soldiers to you, and you must protect your two aunts, do you dare to take orders? ”

Cao Peng really didn't want Deng Ai to continue to get involved in the war.

Moreover, as he said, once the conscription was issued, it was like a full-scale declaration of war on Liu Bei.

At that time, all kinds of people will be mixed with the dancing yin, which is too chaotic. Cao Peng will also go on the expedition, leaving Huang Yueying and the two in Wuyin, which is indeed not safe. It's better to let them go to Zhongyang Town, which is Cao Peng's lair after all, relatively speaking, it is more simple.

It's just that he let Deng Ai leave like this, and he may not have the reason.

Cao Peng simply handed over the white camel soldiers to Deng Ai to take charge, leaving only the flying camel soldiers to accompany him.

When Deng Ai heard that Cao Peng handed over the white camel soldiers to him, he was immediately excited and nodded again and again......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the end of May of the 11th year of Jian'an, Cao Peng conscripted troops from the entire Nanyang County in the name of the Taishou of Nanyang County.

In this conscription, not many people can respond, but we must create momentum. At the same time, Nanyang Pravda issued a special issue for three consecutive days, criticizing Liu Bei's bad behavior. Lu Yu even wrote it himself and explained the ins and outs of the matter one by one. He said in Nanyang Pravda: If you are not too warlike, you are really a villain. Since taking office, Cao Taishou has been working hard to maintain the peaceful situation in Nanyang. But now, Liu Bei declared war without authorization for his own selfishness, causing a large number of casualties among innocent people.

Cao Taishou was forced to have no choice but to announce the battle!

For the long-term peace of Nanyang County, Cao Taishou hoped that heroes and heroes from all over the country would respond to the call and join the ranks of the imperial army to defeat the rebellion.

As soon as the article came out, Nanyang County was a sensation.

The benefits of mastering a mouthpiece are evident at this time.

Liu Bei reduced his forces, although the Wancheng area maintained a stable situation, but in the non-controlled area, Danshui, Wudang, Suixian and other places responded one after another, expressing their willingness to obey the imperial court's requisition and crusade against the rebellion. At the same time, Jianyang Cen Shao and Deng Dee took the lead in recruiting thousands of young and strong people from their own clan, totaling a school of soldiers and horses, and obeyed Cao Peng's dispatch. Cao Peng was not polite, and immediately transferred the two thousand soldiers and horses to Deng Zhi's command. Then, he ordered Xu Yi to be the main general, Deng Zhi Du Ji to be the Sima and the chief secretary of the army, and Tunzanan gathered.

The order of the full command of the headquarters of the soldiers and horses, at the Nanshan Pass and Lu Chang converged.

Subsequently, Cao Peng personally led 5,000 soldiers, self-dancing Yin, and went straight to the Nanshan Pass.

By the beginning of June, the Cao army stationed on the banks of the Yushui River had reached more than 15,000 people; Liu Bei personally sat in Wancheng and ordered Chen to garrison Yuliangji, forming a corner and confronting Cao's army. The total number of soldiers and horses on both sides, nearly 40,000 people, with Yushui as the center, along the thorny water to the south, stretching for more than ten miles. Although Liu Bei was unable to fight back against Cao Peng's public opinion war, he did not show weakness. He guarded Wancheng steadily, ordered Guan Yutun Zha Neyang, and the commander of Elk Zhu Xinye, and firmly held the Wancheng area in his hands, and his momentum was not weak Cao Peng at all.

The smell of gunpowder on both sides is extremely strong, but they maintain a kind of restraint with each other.

Liu Bei is waiting for Liu Biao's reaction, and Cao Peng is also testing Liu Biao's bottom line......

At the same time, the city of Xiangyang was also in chaos.

The Jingxiang clan group led by Cai Mao and others had a fierce collision with Liu Biao's old department in Shanyang. On the one hand, he wanted to support Liu Bei, and on the other hand, he believed that Liu Bei had provoked a war without authorization, and his crime was unforgivable, and he should be recalled so as not to cause Jingzhou to suffer war.

Liu Biao was sandwiched in the middle, hesitating.

Kuai Yue and others on the front foot suggested that he should call Liu Bei back, and Yi came on the back foot to persuade Liu Biao to support Liu Bei.

The reasons of both sides are very sufficient, which makes Liu Biao feel that he is in a dilemma.

Liu Biao, it's really old!

If it were replaced by the courage he had when he entered Jingzhou, it would be easy to make a decision.

It's either to fight or to make peace, it's as simple as that.

But now Liu Biao, that is, he wants to fight, he can completely occupy Nanyang County, and at the same time he does not want to provoke Cao Cao and cause more war.

As a result, the two sides quarreled endlessly, which made Liu Biao feel dizzy......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

However, the quarrel in Xiangyang City did not last long.

On the seventh day of June in the eleventh year of Jian'an, Liu Hu, the captain of Zhangling, suddenly launched a sneak attack on Huyang.

Under the joint persuasion of Li Qi and Liu Qi, Liu Hu finally made up his mind. On the fifth day of his sixth month, Liu Hu suddenly entered Xiangxiang.

Subsequently, he took Zhonglang general Huang Zhong as the vanguard, and suddenly sent troops to capture Tangzi Township.

This Tangzi Township is a large gathering, where thousands of families live.

To the west, Tangzi Township is a hill that stretches for dozens of miles, and then it enters the rule of Xinye. To the east, it is the lofty mountains of Tongbai Dafu Mountain. To the south is the Qianli Henan Plain, which is connected to Xiangxiang. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was an important pass connecting the north and the south. It is named because of its proximity to Tangzi Mountain. Although Tangzi Mountain is not high, it is highlighted from the Tongbai Mountains in the east, just like the head of an eagle, with a bird's-eye view of the north and south plains.

The mountains here are steep and full of rocks, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is located between Huyang, Xiangxiang and Xinye. At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Red Eyebrow Green Forest Army revolted, and Liu Xiuzeng commanded the army and clashed with Wang Mang's Chunling Army again and won a complete victory. Geographically, Tangzi Township belongs to Huyang and is also the northern gateway of Huyang County.

After Kuai Zheng took office in Huyang, he asked Li Yan to lead the troops and garrison Tangzi Township......

Speaking of which, Kuai Zheng also believes too much in the family's influence on Liu Biao. He believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Jingzhou army to use troops to Huyang.

Who knows, Liu Hu suddenly sent troops.

Li Yan was caught off guard and returned in embarrassment.

"You just said that Huang Zhong led the troops?"

"Exactly!"

In the Yazhong of Huyang Mansion, Li Yan looked embarrassed and had a bitter face.

Pang De listened to it next to him, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Peping, who is Huang Zhong?" ”

Kuai Zheng smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that it was Huang Zhong commanding the army, but this is troublesome......

Oh, Ling Ming doesn't know. This Huang Zhongzi Hansheng, a native of Danshui, is a rare warrior in Nanyang County and even in the entire Jingzhou......

During the Taiping Road Rebellion, Huang Han was promoted to the rank of captain of Baiwan County, and was the confidant of Qin Jie, who was the Taishou of Nanyang at that time.

Zhang Man besieged the city with millions of yellow scarves, and Huang Zhong was in the chaos of the army, cutting off the general's head like a bag to take things, and made great achievements. Originally, after the Taiping Dao Rebellion, Huang Zhong should have been rewarded. However, because his beloved son was ill, he had no intention of leaving the office, so he resigned and went home...... After all, his son did not survive, and by the time he appeared again, Nanyang had changed. Qin Taishou died of illness, and the new Taishou was unwilling to be reused...... When Jingsheng Gong was in charge of Jingzhou, and because he was old, he asked him to assist Liu Pangongzi.

When the sour jujube alliance, Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi once said: If Hansheng is ten years younger, even Lu Bu will not dare to touch his edge......"

"Slow, slow!"

Pang De suddenly interrupted Kuai Zheng's words, and asked in surprise: "Listening to the meaning of Peping's words, this Huang Hansheng will not become an old man?" ”
