Shinno, inside the Taishofu Hall.

Liu Bei sat on the main seat, and Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others were all there.

In addition, there was also a soldier standing in the hall, who clasped his fists in Liu Bei with both hands, sweating profusely. And the rest of the people, including Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, all looked at this soldier with shocked eyes.

The shock of reason was slightly less, and the irrational eyes were round and could not believe it.

Especially Liu Bei, his eyes were round, his mouth was wide open, and he could almost put down an egg.

What did he hear? Cao Ren's army actually failed? And it was defeated in one battle, and it was defeated. was defeated by his outcast.

Liu Feng defeated the famous generals of the Central Plains.

Liu Bei almost couldn't believe his ears, that Cao Ren was powerful, he knew it very well, and he was fortunate enough to be taught, he was a brave and resourceful general.

Such a famous general, who fought with strong troops and attacked weak brigades, actually failed.

In addition to not believing his ears, Liu Bei also did not believe in the facts. asked Liu Fengzhen to defeat Cao Ren, how could he be embarrassed.

He was still thinking about Cao Ren, dragging Liu Feng to death, dragging him down, "You say it again." Liu Bei stared at this pawn with dead eyes, and said word by word.

"My lord, Jiangxia Taishou Liu Feng burned Cao Ren's camp in Liucheng, and Cao Ren was defeated." Being stared at by Liu Bei like this, the pressure on the soldiers was very great, he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice.

"No way. Cao Ren is a famous general in the Central Plains, how could he be completely defenseless, and was attacked by Liu Feng, and even burned down the camp. The cold glint in his eyes flashed, and Liu Bei said categorically.

"Enlighten the lord, what the little one said is true." There was a lot of sweat on the soldier's face.

"Ahem, my lord, it may be true." At this time, Zhuge Liang spoke, he coughed lightly and said.

Zhuge Liang's words made Liu Bei realize that he had lost his temper a little. I couldn't help but take a deep breath, restrained the shock in my heart, and didn't believe it.

raised his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and saw that although Zhuge Liang had shock in his eyes, he had regained his sanity and enlightenment.

That is, really believed in it.

Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang would never be targeted for no reason, so he was even more shocked. Is Cao Ren really defeated? Anyway, Liu Bei still didn't believe it in his heart.

"Kong Ming, what do you think?" Although he was shocked in his heart, Liu Bei had returned to normalcy on his face and asked.

"Pang Shiyuan has a ghost talent, and he is curious. During the Warring States period, the famous Fire Bull Formation, he also studied one or two. Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a little regret, and said.

He, Pang Tong and the two are known as Wolong, Phoenix Chicks, and they are a pair of friends. could have been on the same side at the same time, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and assisting the king in his success.

But now one is going to Xinye, and the other is going to Jiangxia.

Liu Bei's eyes opened uncontrollably again. blurted out:

"Fire Bull Formation? Hasn't it been lost for a long time? ”

During the Warring States Period, the famous Fire Bull Array, of course Liu Bei knew, but it had been lost.

"Yes, it's called a genius." Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed.

"Big brother, now is not the time to discuss this." Guan Yu, who was sitting first on Liu Bei's left hand, suddenly spoke.

"Wancheng?" Guan Yu's words reminded Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and they glanced at each other, and they both saw the heartbeat in each other's eyes.

Aren't they sitting and watching the mountain tiger fight just for Wancheng?

If Cao Ren defeated Liu Feng, the chances of capturing Wancheng would not be too great, and even if he did, he would have to find a way to resist Cao Ren's counterattack.

And now that Liu Feng has helped solve Cao Ren, this kind of thing is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Raise troops and attack Wancheng." Liu Bei suddenly stood up and said.

But he reacted at the first moment, what a pie in the sky. If Liu Feng defeated Cao Ren, he defeated Cao Ren, if he won Wancheng, it would be fine if Liu Feng defeated Cao Ren.

"No." Guan Yu answered, and then gestured to Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and others, and several people left in a hurry.

Although Zhuge Liang is known as a military division, it is still a few of their generals who are responsible for the transfer of troops.

"Lord, although Cao Ren was defeated. But Wancheng is not necessarily empty. Cao Ren must be guarded by elite soldiers, and the city is tall, so it may be difficult to break through easily. After Guan Yu left, Zhuge Liang raised his head and said.

Although he said this, Zhuge Liang's eyes were shining, and he obviously had a solution.

"Then how does Kong Ming think he should attack Wancheng?" Liu Bei frowned, this is indeed very difficult. But then, Liu Bei saw the confidence in Zhuge Liang's eyes, heard the sound of the piano and knew the elegance, and couldn't help but smile and ask.

"Count."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly.

…………………….

The Xiangjiang River is a large tributary of the Yangtze River, which runs from west to east and also has several large branches. Among them, the water system near Xiangyang is the largest.

It faces south, originates near Wancheng in Jingzhou, goes straight down to Xiangyang, and finally flows into the Xiangjiang River.

At this moment, on the Xiangjiang River near Xiangyang, a huge fleet of 100 large ships is swimming against the current. The big ship was flying two flags.

One is "Gan". The second is "Shi".

Xiangyang is a big city that prospers by water transportation, and there are merchant ships on the Xiangjiang River all year round. Too many to count. Liu Biao also attached great importance to merchants and strictly ordered the navy to harass merchant ships.

But this huge fleet went on a rampage. Ferocious.

If the merchant ships along the road do not avoid it early, it will definitely be the end of the ship's destruction and death.

"What kind of person is this, damn, when did such an unreasonable person appear in the Xiangyang Water Army." On the deck of a merchant ship that had hurriedly avoided the huge fleet, a middle-aged merchant shouted.

In addition to the ship's accident, there is another brother in distress not far away. There was also a merchant standing on the deck. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you see that flag?" It's Jiangxia's navy, rampant all the way, and it is estimated that there is a war somewhere. ”

"What? Gan Ning? The middle-aged businessman was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly looked up, sure enough, it was really Gan Ning's banner.

Under the gaze of this merchant, the huge fleet slowly turned, broke away from the Xiangjiang River, and entered the water.

Xinye? Wancheng?

Something big is about to happen. The middle-aged businessman was horrified.

On the deck of the big ship with the flag of "Gan" in the fleet, Gan Ning stood in the wind. Looking ahead with an indifferent expression, a merchant ship may not be able to avoid it, and it will be knocked down and sink to the bottom of the river.

Gan Ningdu's expression was indifferent and unmoved.

The order he received was to quickly seize Wancheng to the north, and to do whatever it took to do so.

Shi Chang stood next to Gan Ning, and since Jiangling, Shi Chang has become an important subordinate under Gan Ning.

At this moment, Shi Chang's face was extremely solemn.

"My lord, now that the Lord is fighting against Cao Ren in Liucheng, why are we coming to Wancheng?" Shi Chang had this question a few days ago, and now he is about to arrive in Xinye. He finally couldn't help but say it.

Liu Feng did this, it is really not common sense. The city of Wancheng is tall, even if there are many troops, it is not easy to take it.

"Since the lord has ordered us to go north, he must have a deep meaning. Now is not the time to think about this, you should think about how to attack Wancheng. Gan Ning said lightly.

Very few people know about the Fire Bull Formation, and Shi Chang is not among them. So there are some things that are hard to say.

After speaking, Gan Ning looked up to the north. After another day or two, we will enter Wancheng.

At that time, no matter who it is, no matter what happens, Wancheng will be Jiangxia's. He Ganning received orders to whoever stands in the way and who dies.

Seeing Gan Ning's resolute attitude, Shi Chang didn't say anything more, frowning and thinking about how to attack Wancheng.

Shi Chang was born in Gangneung, and the city of Gangneung is a rare big city. It is rumored that Wancheng is stronger and larger than Gangneung.

It is very difficult to break through such a city.

Shi Chang raised his head and glanced around the fleet. This time, they only took 6,000 people with them. Is it enough?

…………………… The north of Xinye, where the camp was originally located.

At this moment, only a bare open space remained, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others acted quickly.

Next to the water in the west of the camp, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and others to prepare to board the ship and go to Wancheng.

Xinye and Wancheng are almost in a straight line, but a narrow stream of water separates the two cities. Therefore, whether Cao Ren wants to cross the river into Xinye, or Liu Bei crosses the river to attack Wancheng, it is a very difficult thing.

But now Liu Bei is not afraid. The biggest obstacle to Wancheng, Cao Ren led his elite soldiers, went south to attack Liu Feng, and was defeated.

Then there is Zhuge Liang's strategy, Wancheng is at your fingertips.

Under Guan Yu's urging, the army soon crossed the few warships.

"Sail the boat." Then, under Guan Yu's order, the fleet marched crookedly towards Wancheng.

To be honest, the size and appearance of this fleet are really flattering. There are large and small ships, which look like army warships, but in fact they are more like water thieves, and the fleet of water thieves is composed of miscellaneous ships.

These ships were obtained by Liu Bei at a great cost from various face-to-face. When Liu Bei entered Jingzhou, Liu Biao asked Liu Bei to guard the door.

Gave the soldiers and horses, the city. But they just didn't give the navy and warships.

Because there are tens of thousands of sailors stationed outside Xiangyang City, it is enough. Giving Liu Bei a naval army will only increase Liu Bei's threat.

Liu Bei looked at his own fleet, although it was crooked, it was very unorthodox. But the pride in my heart has not diminished at all.

Although this ship is a little wasted, his 3,000 elite soldiers are based on the core of a hundred battles of elite soldiers, plus Guan Yu, Zhang Fei trained for several years before forming elite soldiers.

In terms of quality, it is not at all worse than Cao Ren's army.

Cao Renben had an army of 25,000 men, of which 23,000 went south to attack Liu Feng. The remaining 2,000 were to oversee the town.

3,000 elite soldiers went to attack Wancheng, which had 2,000 guards and a tall city, and it seemed that there was no chance of victory.

But when it comes to tactics, the situation is completely different.

Thinking that he was about to get Wancheng, the pride in Liu Bei's heart continued to improve. Wancheng does not refer to a city alone, it is a county, just like Jiangxia and Jiangling County.

Wancheng is only the seat of Nanyang County, and there are more than ten cities under the rule of Nanyang County, with a population of about 200,000. If you get Wancheng, you can recruit soldiers, and you can recruit 20,000 soldiers.

And because of the expansion of the chassis, the depth has been increased. There is room for manoeuvre. It's no longer the situation of being trapped in Xinye.

Trapped in Xinye for several years, and now that he has finally waited for the opportunity, Liu Bei is very angry and raises his eyebrows.

Under the agitation of the mood, Liu Bei was dissatisfied with the current speed, and couldn't help shouting: "Accelerate forward." ”

Not to mention Liu Bei, who has been beaten and run around for half his life, even the fledgling Zhuge Liang is uncontrollable in his heart.

Seriously, Zhuge Liang is under a lot of pressure.

Now that Wancheng is in hand, it can greatly alleviate this pressure.

………………… On a section of water near the Xinye border, Gan Ning's huge fleet slowly appeared.

On the ship's board, there was still a trace of remembrance in Gan Ning's eyes. He had just passed by Du Island, which was now deserted.

But Gan Ning will never forget it for the rest of his life, and it was there that he got acquainted with Liu Feng. At that time, he planned to go east to join Huang Zu.

But he was dissuaded by Liu Feng and worked as a water thief on Du Island for a while.

Later, Liu Feng was forced to escape from Xinye, and out of righteousness, he asked Liu Feng to stay as a water thief, and gave him the position of leader.

Thinking about it now, it was a bit ridiculous back then. Now the lord has three counties and is a general. It can be said that a lot of work has been done.

If at the beginning, Liu Feng really stayed to be a water thief.

Although it was already a thing of the past, Gan Ning still felt a chill in his heart when he thought about it.

If Liu Fengzhen is a water thief, how can he be a general, too guarded. How can he lead the water army and supervise the battle? The difference between one thought is the difference between the world.

"General, there's Shinno Castle ahead." Shi Chang, who was next to him, suddenly spoke.

Shi Chang looked in the direction of Xinye, with a hint of strangeness. That's where Liu Feng started his home, and it's also where he ran away in embarrassment.

But today, there are many cities under Liu Feng's rule, and Xinye has always been just a small city.

Looking at Shi Chang with a strange light in his eyes, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Gan Ning's heart. Looking at that Xinye lonely city, there is a monstrous killing machine.

Others don't know, but Gan Ning knows very well what kind of pressure and humiliation Liu Feng was under when he left.

It was also that time that Gan Ning recognized Liu Bei's face, the shameless villain who deceived the world and stole his name, and crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

If it weren't for the consideration, Liu Feng's order was to attack Wancheng, not Xinye. Gan Ning really wanted to show off his might and vent his anger for Liu Feng.

There are only 5,000 soldiers in Xinye Castle. Disdainful in his heart, Gan Ning glanced back at his huge fleet.

Although the quality is not as good as that of Shinno, there are 6,000 people anyway.

If there is a real fight, Liu Bei may not be able to please him.

In fact, when Gan Ning's fleet appeared, it was already showing off its might.

The water is very close to Xinye, Gan Ning can vaguely see Xinye, and of course Xinye Chengtou can also see this huge fleet.

Liu Bei has just come out of Xinye, and now the security of Xinye City is much stricter than before.

First of all, when they saw a few pawns of the west gate of this fleet, they immediately reported to Wei Yan, who was in charge of guarding the city gate.

Now is not the war period, Wei Yan's dress is very casual, but the smell of a general on his body cannot be erased.

Standing at the head of the city, watching the huge fleet from afar. A trace of shock flashed across Wei Yan's face.

When Liu Bei first came out of Xinye, such a huge fleet appeared in Shuishui, what does this mean?

"Someone, go and report to General Chen." Wei Yanqiang held back the shock in his heart and waved his hand.

Chen Dao, who is now in charge of the defense of Xinye, has found a huge fleet and must report it.

"No." Immediately, a soldier next to him made a promise, and then trotted all the way down the city.
