After the pawn left, Wei Yan continued to look in the direction of the water.

The fleet sailed fast and disappeared into the present in the blink of an eye. When the fleet disappeared, Wei Yan heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

Wei Yan turned his head, and a moment later, Chen Zhi's figure appeared.

Chen is in his thirties, his face is white and beardless, but his eyes are sharp, like a blade.

At present, there are not many generals in Xinye, Guan Zhang Zhao Chen, among which the most trusted is naturally Guan Zhang, followed by Chen Dao. Zhao Yun can only be ranked last.

Otherwise, Liu Bei led his troops to Wancheng, and he would not leave the position left behind to Chen.

"General." Wei Yan stepped forward and hugged his fists.

"The flotilla is gone?" Chen Zhi nodded, then took a few steps forward, leaned against the female wall, and looked up at the water, which was empty. I couldn't help asking.

"The general is a step too late." Wei Yan nodded.

Chen Zhi frowned deeply when he heard this, at this juncture, there was actually a water army, and it was a huge water army.

A little uneasiness flashed in Chen Dao's heart.

"Are you still chasing the lord?" The two were silent for a moment, and Wei Yan spoke.

"The lord has been gone for a while, and he can't catch up." Chen Zhi shook his head and said. It is a waterway, and horses cannot cross it. Naturally, the ships could not catch up.

There was silence again, neither of them was the kind of general who stood alone, especially Wei Yan, who was just a petty official guarding the city gate.

For such a big thing, there is no ability to adapt.

"I don't know what Liu Cong is thinking. Could it be that he also received the news of Cao Ren's defeat? Impossible. Wei Yan asked.

There is a section between Xinye and Xiangyang, and when I received the news, Xinye should be faster and Xiangyang slower. But judging from the appearance time of this fleet, Xiangyang received the news almost at the same time.

This is somewhat counterintuitive.

"This may not be Xiangyang's water army." Chen Zhi shook his head, and then said solemnly: "I guess it's Jiangxia's navy." ”

"Impossible, how could Jiangxia's sailors cross the entire Xiangjiang River and come to Shuishui?" Wei Yan was shocked.

"Wen Chang was busy training troops, but he didn't know that Liu Feng and Xiangyang Cai's and Huang's had a marriage contract." Chen Zhi explained.

Wei Yan's face showed a sudden expression, Liu Biaoxin mourned, and Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, but the real power is in the hands of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, if Liu Feng can marry Cai Mao, it is not impossible for the navy to cross Jingzhou and go straight to Xinye.

"Not good. Liu Feng has an enmity with the lord, if it is Jiangxia's navy, wouldn't the lord be even more dangerous? Suddenly, Wei Yan's face changed.

"It's up to the lord." Chen Zhi glanced at the north and sighed.

Not only could they not catch up with Liu Bei, but they also had no warships. There is an army, but it can't help.

"Hey." Wei Yan also sighed when he heard this. I couldn't help but think of the scene when Liu Feng went out of the city, after killing Tang Song, his face was full of complacency, and he ordered him to hang Tang Song in the city.

What a heroic, how calm.

It's a pity that today.

Chen Zhi, like Wei Yan, sighed a little. The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.

While sighing, the two of them also cast a shadow in their hearts. Fight for Wancheng, but don't let anything happen.

The lord waited for several years to have this opportunity. If it fails, it will be a great blow.

……………………

Also near Xinye, on a major road, dust and smoke are billowing out.

An army of about 2,000 men quickly approached Wancheng. This army is extremely imposing, and it is an army that has won battles.

Especially there were six hundred people in the army, with a cold look and a burly figure. It is the elite of the elite.

At the front of the army, a snow-white horse, only a handful of jet-black white horses at the horse's hooves dragged a young general towards the front.

The young general was dressed in silver armor and a narrow Chu sword, and he was full of heroism.

It is Liu Feng, and this army is also Liu Feng's army to crusade against Wancheng.

"Lord, there is Xinye ahead." Next to Liu Feng was Chen Da, who was also riding a war horse, and looked up at the familiar area in front of him, Chen Dadao.

"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded, and also looked up at the front.

He lived in this area for three years. When Chen Da's broken military camp started, the military camp was stationed nearby.

In the past three years, there has been family affection, pride, and frustration.

Gan's care, after saving Xu Shu, was ambitious. Thinking that he could take Liu Bei's position, Liu Bei turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and he was forced to leave Xinye.

Scenes of the past turned back in Liu Feng's mind.

In the end, pride and humiliation were expelled from Liu Feng's mind. In the past, he only took over Liu Bei's position, but now he has more power and power than Liu Bei. And it's still going up step by step.

Pride is even more deserved.

The so-called humiliation, it is still said that Liu Bei, who used tactics to drive him out of Xinye, should be even more humiliated.

Decades of exile have led to nothing. And he, an outcast, already owns three counties, and his power is booming.

In Liu Feng's mind, only Gan's loving face remained.

At this moment, Liu Feng really had the urge to raise troops to fight Xinye, pull it out, destroy it, and burn it. But he held back, now is the time to seize Wancheng, not Xinye.

The combined population of the city of Xinye is only tens of thousands, while Wancheng has 200,000. The Xinye garrison had 5,000, while Wancheng had only 2,000.

Don't attack Wancheng, but attack Xinye. It's not Liu Feng's style.

"Mother, the power of the child is not enough. You wait, it won't take long, it won't take long. Looking at the direction of Xinye City, Liu Feng's eyes were slightly sour, and he muttered a few words in his heart.

Immediately, he resolutely said: "Go around, the target is Wancheng." ”

"No." Chen Da responded.

Previously, he looked at Liu Feng silently, watching Liu Feng's expression change from extremely impulsive, and gradually endured it. Chen Da only felt a lot of colic in his heart.

Break the army, break the army. When Liu Feng first set up the army, he was known as the army that broke the world. It's starting to take shape, but it's not enough.

Otherwise, this little new field would not have passed away.

Strength is not good. Of course, Chen Da felt the pain.

"Target Wancheng." With a pain in his heart, Chen Da took a deep breath and yelled.

It seems to release the grievances in my heart from this roar.

"No." It seemed that they felt the grievances in Chen Da's heart, and the soldiers roared in unison. The speed of the march increased by thirty percent.

…………

Wancheng, in a general's mansion study.

Kneeling sat a burly man with an extremely decent appearance, but the look on this man's face was a little restless at the moment.

This man is the current defender of Wancheng, Hong Kang.

After ten years in the army, he is Cao Ren's right-hand man, if Cao Ren goes out of the city to fight, he must be the one who defends the city.

For ten years, this has been the case.

Ten years ago, or even five years ago, Hong Kang didn't feel it difficult, because at that time, they were all yellow scarves or small princes. Defending the city is a good meal.

But recently, as Cao Ren's battles have gotten bigger and bigger, the enemy has become more and more cunning. Hong Kang felt very struggling. Ever since he followed Cao Ren, he has been guarding the city.

The ability to adapt to the situation is very bad. He knows this, and Cao Ren also knows it. Therefore, when Cao Ren left, he left behind the most elite 2,000 soldiers and horses under his tent.

Ordered Hong Kang to defend the city if Liu Bei came to attack. If you can't hold on, send someone for help.

But neither Cao Ren nor Hong Kang expected Cao Ren to fail, and Cao Ren, who was sitting on an army of 23,000, failed.

That's right, not long after Liu Bei got the news, Hong Kang also got the battle report from the front.

Therefore, Hong Kang was anxious and uneasy. On the one hand, he was worried about Cao Ren's safety after the defeat, and on the other hand, he was also worried about whether the city could be defended.

Despite the 2,000 soldiers, the city was tall. But in the face of Liu Bei, who has a high reputation and great fame, Hong Kang still feels bottomless.

Although Hong Kang had closed the city gates and scattered a large number of spies around the city, Liu Bei would be able to get the news as soon as he appeared.

But Hong Kang still doesn't have much bottom in his heart. How could the general be defeated? How could the general be defeated?

In his anxiety, Hong Kang still couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly broke in. "General, the spies have sent news that thirty miles outside the city, an army is chasing and killing a remnant. Suspected General Cao's army. After entering the study, the soldier immediately reported it.

"What?" Hong Kang stood up suddenly, with some disbelief on his face.

In this Jiangxia, Wancheng is nearly a thousand miles away. General Cao's defeated army was actually chased and killed for a thousand miles?

Although Hong Kang got the news from the front, he didn't know what was going on, only that the camp was burned and the army was scattered.

If Liu Feng is in hot pursuit, it is not impossible to chase and kill a thousand miles. As soon as this thought arose, Hong Kang's heart was immediately anxious.

"Let's go and have a look at the city." In a hurry, Hong Kang immediately got up and said.

However, Hong Kang remembered that this was a time of war, and it was too dangerous not to wear armor. So he had to hold back the anxiety in his heart and put on his armor under the service of the soldiers.

Then he left the mansion, mounted his warhorse, and went to the south gate.

After galloping, Hong Kang soon came to the city gate, turned over and dismounted, Hong Kang looked up at the city gate, got up and stepped on the stone steps, and went up to the city.

Standing at the head of the city, Hong Kang looked ahead, trying to find out where Cao Ren was. But thirty miles away, how can you see clearly?

"Quickly go and investigate to confirm whether it is General Cao. Isn't it approaching step by step. Hong Kang ordered.

"No." One of the soldiers next to him answered the order and quickly went to give the order.

Moments later, the drawbridge was lowered, and several spies rode out of the city on their horses.

Although Hong Kang is anxious, there is no good way to do it at present. He didn't dare to confirm whether it was Cao Ren in front of him, or if it was Liu Feng's conspiracy to lure him out of the city.

Cao Ren was chased by Liu Feng for a thousand miles. Not far away, there is a new wild Liu Bei. He only has 2,000 troops, can he cope with it?

Although the city is located, the walls are tall and the walls are thick. But it didn't give Hong Kang a sense of security.

He felt like a sheep among wolves.

It's too dangerous.
