Po Cheng. Located in the hinterland of Jingzhou, if Nanyang is the gateway to Jingzhou. Then Greedy City, tears are the gateway to Xiangyang.

Danshui, Xishui, Meishui, Hanshui converge here, call it Xiangjiang, in the end of the Han Dynasty where the traffic is extremely inconvenient, Fancheng is the same as Xiangyang. As the most convenient city in Jingzhou for water conservancy, it is actually an important city in Jingzhou.

Wancheng and Xiangyang across the river, since Jingzhou Assassin Liu Biao moved the capital to Xiangyang, Fancheng was prosperous, becoming a rare commercial town at that time.

For the defense of Xiangyang. Fanchengtun has heavy troops, and the guard general Wang Hong is the nephew of Wang Wei, the former general of Jingzhou, and his uncle is also a loyal man, and he has a friendship with Liu Jian, the eldest son of Liu Biao, but unlike his uncle, he has a good relationship with Cai Mao.

Jian'an was only four in early May, and it was the same as Jiang Zhechai. Liu Bei and his entourage did indeed flee to Fan Zhang...

Although Liu Bei has suffered countless defeats in his life, and now is not the time when he is most embarrassed, but even so, Liu Bei is bleak at the moment.

There were only two or three hundred sergeants on the line. The face is full of tiredness and dust, so that people can know at a glance: Liu Bei suffered a fiasco!

In this regard, Wang Hong was not surprised, thinking that with thousands of people and horses in Liu Bei, how could he deal with 200,000 Cao troops? However, what made it difficult for him was that Cai Mao seemed to have calculated that Liu Bei would join Fancheng, so he sent someone to ask Wang Hong to secretly get rid of him.

There are 2,000 horse troops, 10,000 infantry, and 8,000 archers, with a total of 20,000 horses to deal with a mere Liu Bei, which is obviously extremely easy.

However, Wang Hong was still fundraising, and his uncle Wang Wei failed to send troops that day and was defeated by Cao's army. Liu Biaorou was angry, if it weren't for Liu Yan's intercession. Wang Wei is afraid that he has already been beheaded and sacrificed to the flag.

Although Wang Wei was still removed from all military positions. Idle in Xiangyang City, but always left a life in, thanks to Liu Di's grace, Wang Wei wrote several times to his nephew Wang Hong, is the reason, now Wang Hong is deeply troubled.

Killing Liu Bei ruined the friendship of the son-in-law Liu Yan. failed to live up to his helping hand that day; Don't kill Liu Bei. then it hurt Cai Mao......

It's hard!

Wang Hong sighed secretly in his heart, stared at the literati standing in front of him, Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, and suddenly asked, "Where is Uncle Liu Huang now?" ”

Xu Shu arched his hand and said respectfully. "General Qiyu, my lord is now outside the city of Fancheng, but I don't dare to make a mistake because I haven't seen the general, so I will send it first, if the general is unwilling to take it in, my lord will return to another place, and don't embarrass the general,"

Wang Hong frowned, glanced at Xu Shu deeply, and said lightly, "Where does Uncle Liu Huang want to return?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said with a straight face, "The current situation is critical, and Cao Jun is attacking in a big way. Jingzhou is afraid of a catastrophe, my lord alone against Cao unfortunately was defeated by the Cao army, my lord and Liu Yan's son have an old, I heard that the son is in Jiangling, Jiangxia, is the reason to vote, can you stop Cao Jun from harming Jingzhou! ”

Wang Hong raised his eyebrows, and said with a light smile, "Although I have 20,000 soldiers and horses in Fancheng, I am still not the opponent of the 200,000 Cao army, but Xiangyangtun has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and I can fight with the Cao army. ”

"Doesn't the general know what it's all about?" Xu Shu smiled. said with a wry smile, "If you can cast Xiangyang, why should my lord travel a long distance." What about going to Gangneung? Wouldn't it be better to fight Cao Jun here? ”

Wang Hong's face changed slightly, and he looked at Xu Shu silently.

"The general seems to have something on his mind?" Xu Shu said with a light smile.

"How do you know?"

"Its city is quite close to Xiangyang, and the general has a friendship with Cai Mao, right now, Cai Mao, who thinks about himself as a general, has issued an order to harm my lord, but is it?"

Wang Hong's face changed suddenly and he slowly stood up. Raised his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "You are right, General Ben received an order from General Cai Mao yesterday, but if Liu Bei and others are killed, there will be no mercy!" Where are the left and right axe hands? ”

As he spoke, the sword and axe men who were lying in ambush poured into the hall and surrounded Xu Shu.

"Xu Yuanzhi, do you have any last words to explain?" Wang Hong raised his right hand and said hesitantly, as long as his right hand fell, I am afraid that dozens of knives and axes will cut Xu Shu into meat sauce in the blink of an eye.

"Hahaha!" Xu Shu laughed three times. His face remained unchanged, he looked at Wang Hong Yeyu and said, "The general wants to kill and kill, since he dares to come, he will naturally give up his life, and he has already made an agreement with the lord in Xia." Let my lord hide in the mountains outside the city, and if he does not return to his life within an hour, then my lord will go elsewhere, and why will the right and left swords and axes not be struck? ”

Glancing at Xu Shu deeply, Wang Hong's raised hand slowly fell, and in Xu Shu's leisurely contentment, Wang Hong waved his hand and said lightly, "I don't want to spoil Mr.'s life, but please stay here for an hour!" Take it down! ”

"No!" Dozens of axemen shouted in response.

"Wait!" Xu Shu shouted, and Zhengse said, "General, let me say another word next!" ”

Wang Hong frowned, raised his hand and said, "Say!" ”

"Do you know why my lord wants to vote for Fancheng? Knowing that the general has a good relationship with Cai Mao"

"Why?"

Xu Shu arched his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "It's Liu Yigongzi, who is known as the general's benevolence and righteousness!" Now Jingzhou is in trouble, Cai Mao supports the army and is self-respecting, his intentions are unknown, or he has the heart to surrender to Cao, and he betrays his lord to seek glory, which is deeply despised! The general wants to follow suit? With that, Xu Shu waved his sleeves and walked out.

"Wait!" Wang Hong's face changed slightly, and he frowned and stopped Xu Shu and said, "What did you just say?" Cai Mao wants to mock"

"What does the general think?" Xu Shu turned around and said with a smile, "The Cao army came to attack in a big way, but Cai Mao transferred troops to Xiangyang, did not send a single army, where to surrender Jingzhou to the Cao army, and what did he want?" ”

Wang Hong was silent.

After a stick of incense, Wang Hong and Xu Shu walked towards the east gate of Fancheng, during which Wang Hong asked in a low voice. "Cai Mao really wants to vote for Cao Cao?"

Xu Shu smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”

"You!" Wang Hong frowned and said suspiciously. "Didn't you say that Cai Mao supports the army and has self-respect, or has the heart to join Cao?"

Xu Shu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "This is what I think in my heart, but there is no evidence at all, so I can't conclude that Cai Mao has joined Cao!" ”

Wang Hong was angry and was about to speak, but saw Xu Shu pointing to the distance and said, "General, look, under the city gate is my lord Liu Xuande!" ”

"What?" Wang Hong was stunned, looked at Xu Shu and said in surprise, "Didn't you say that Uncle Liu Huang was hiding in the mountains outside the city?" ”

"Oh? Did you say it below? "Xu Shu is some" inexplicable.

Wang Hongzhong snorted, but saw Xu Shu and said with a smile, "Since my lord has come to vote for the general, he naturally trusts the general as a person, why do you have such a move?" ”

Xu Shu's words naturally made Wang Hong very useful in his heart.

The two stepped forward, and Xu Shu raised his hand and introduced, "Lord, this is Fancheng Taishou, Liu Yaogongzi is a friend of General Wang Hong, General Wang Hong, this is my lord, Liu Xuande!" ”

Before Liu Bei could speak, Wang Hong raised his hand and said. "There are many people here, and it is inconvenient to talk in detail, you might as well come to my mansion to discuss, Uncle Liu Huang please!" After that, he glanced at Liu Bei and said with a smile, "But I don't know if Uncle Liu Huang can trust the last general?" ”

"What did General Wang say," Liu Bei arched his hand and said with a wry smile, "Liu Bei is the last person." If the general wants to kill Liu Bei, one knife and one shot are enough, why bend down to come here, the general please! ”

Wang Hong smiled faintly, didn't speak, and led Liu Bei and the others to their own mansion in the city.

Ask the lord and his entourage to sit down in the hall, ask the people in the house to serve tea, Wang Hong drank and retreated, hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Liu's weapon, the last general is very impressed, and he does not hide that Cai Mao sent an order yesterday to the thousand generals, if Uncle Liu Mane comes to vote, he will take the opportunity to spit on Chen."

The voice fell, but when he saw Liu Bei's hand, the black-faced man shouted angrily, "Cai Mao's guy is hateful!" Angry old Zhang also! ”

"Yide!" Liu Bei scolded lightly, and seeing that Wang Hong was a little stunned, he arched his hand and explained, "This is Liu Bei's third brother, Zhang Yide, who is reckless. Don't blame the general" said, Liu Bei pointed to Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others... Introduce.

"Oh!" Wang Hong nodded, clenched his fists and said, "Wang Hong has seen you!" ”

After the introduction of the two parties, I listened to what Liu Bei said and what he saw and heard in the future... Speaking of this, Wang Hong pondered and said, "In this way, Cai Mao may have the intention of voting for Cao, Cao's army is powerful, and Fancheng may not be able to protect it, I heard that the emperor's uncle wants to vote for Liu Zuogongzi in Jiangling?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Bei nodded and sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile, "I can't prepare for it, but I still want to be as superior as Cao Jun, and protect the people of Jingzhou." The second is to compensate for Jingsheng's reception on the same day

"Uncle Huang Gaoyi". Wang Hong clenched his fists. Zhengse said, "From Fancheng to Jiangling, the road is long. However, if you take the waterway, you will arrive within three days, and the last general will prepare a few clippers for the emperor's uncle later. After the imperial uncle and you were ready to eat, they immediately set off and went down the Xiangjiang River,"

"Thank you, General". Liu Bei got up and thanked him. was about to speak, but saw a captain hurriedly running in outside the hall, and said to Wang Hong with a fist. "General, something is wrong!"

"What?" Wang Hong frowned and asked, but saw that the captain glanced at Liu Bei and the others suspiciously, and kept silent.

"Oh" Liu Bei woke up and was about to get up. But Wang Hong waved his hand and said, "There is no need to deny it, Uncle Liu Huang is not an outsider, you just tell the truth!" ”

"No!" The lieutenant nodded, clenched his fists and said. "Just now the scout came to report, thirty miles north of Fancheng. Discover the traces of Cao Jun! ”

"What?. Wang Hong's face changed greatly, he glanced at Liu Bei in shock, and said in shock, "When did Uncle Liu Huang withdraw his troops from Xinye?" ”

"Three days ago," Liu Bei was also moved. muttered, "On the way, we didn't rest much, 200,000 Cao Jun, how fast."

Wang Hong was so anxious that he was a little embarrassed, and frowned and shouted. "Revisit! In addition, people were sent to Xiangyang to ask for help. I have 20,000 soldiers in Fancheng District, how can I be the opponent of 200,000 Cao Army! ”

"No!" The lieutenant responded with his fists clenched, but when he wanted to retreat, he was stopped by Wang Hong, "Then prepare a few more fast boats, there must be no mistakes, go quickly!" ”

"No!"

"General Wang". Liu Bei just spoke. was interrupted by Wang Hong, "Uncle Liu, it seems that the last general will have no time to set up a banquet for Uncle Huang, you can rest for the time being, and when the fast boat is ready, Uncle Huang will go down the river and go to Jiangling within three days!" ”

"The general's words are wrong, now that Cao's army is close to Fancheng, how can Liu Bei escape alone, General Wang. Although I am not talented, but my two brothers, both of whom are thousands of enemies, are also Wang Zuozhi's talents, and I am willing to help the general protect Fancheng without losing! ”

Wang Zuozhicai Liu Bei's voice fell, Zhang Fei glanced at Zhuge Liang with a wine cup, and sneered, "What else does the family say" A few days ago, I asked Xiahoudun to eat a fire attack, and now I ask Cao Jun to eat a fire attack "Okay, but it was designed by Cao Jun, if it wasn't for Lao Zhang, I would have escaped quickly, and I would have been picked up by Zilong's head."

Hearing this, Guan Yu also felt related and sighed slightly. said secretly, Xiahou Yuan let that guy, and his martial arts grew up.

"Third brother". Liu Bei snorted, frowned and blamed, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and military advisors are Wang Zuozhi's talents, so you must not slack off!" If it weren't for the military advisor who saw through Cao's layout that day, how could my brother still be sitting here? As he spoke, he stroked his chin. The fox said suspiciously, "Watching the military division use the plan repeatedly, I can't see through the strategy of the military division when I think about it, I don't want Cao Jun to plan it, well, there must be a master in the Zhuo army to help."

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang was also a little embarrassed, sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "The lord doesn't have to hide for Liang. Defeat is defeat, but,"

"Hey!" Zhang Fei glanced at Zhuge Liang with a slight sneer, and muttered in a low voice, "Pretend."

Zhuge Liang's face suddenly froze, and when he saw this, Xu Shu relieved him and said, "Three generals, Kong Ming has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and it is difficult to match it in the world." can see through Kong Ming's plan, under Cao Cao's account, there are only a few people, can the three generals know who they are? ”

"How do I know?" Zhang Fei laughed. Drink your own alcohol.

Compared with Zhang Fei's indifference, Liu Bei was obviously a little dignified, secretly pondered, and said hesitantly, "Since Mr. said so, there must be a deep meaning."

Jian Yong twisted his beard, and then exclaimed, "Could it be."

"An army of 200,000 will go from Xinye to Fancheng in three days, what kind of domination?" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly. said lightly, "You can see the strategy of breaking the light." I also know that the soldiers are noble and fast, such a deep plan, such a march, I am afraid that there is only one person under Cao Cao's account,"

Slowly open your eyes. Guan Yu said solemnly. "Only Jiang Situ!"

"Jiang Situ?" Wang Hong was stunned and said in surprise, "Could it be Cao Cao's advisers Jiang Zhe and Jiang Shouyi?"

"Alas, I'm afraid this is the only one." Playing with the wine cup in his hand, Xu Shu said with a wry smile, "It seems that Cao Cao is bound to Jingzhou, and he actually sent such a person to Jingzhou, this person is very tricky, far above the 200,000 Cao army!" ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Xu Shu, he naturally understood what the trickiness in Xu Shu's mouth meant, Jiang Zhe was originally a person who was good at using soldiers and planning far. There is also a strange book "Qimen Dunjia", how tricky is that?

Even Zhang Fei no longer blamed Zhuge Liang, and bowed his head and shouted in a muffled voice.

"I don't want to be Situ himself." Liu Bei shook his head, raised his head and sighed, "It seems that Fancheng may not be able to be protected" As he said, he turned to Wang Hong and said, "If General Wang does not surrender to Cao, how about returning to Jiangling with us?" ”

"Return to Gangneung?" Wang Hong was stunned, frowned and shook his head and said, "Since the last general has been ordered to guard Fancheng. Naturally, we can't slack off, besides, there are more than 100,000 people in the city. The last general cannot abandon it."

"Hmm," Liu Bei nodded, silent.

At the same time, thirty miles north of Fancheng, Cao's army was preparing to set up camp.

After resting in Xinye for a day, 200,000 Cao troops rushed for two days and rushed to Fancheng, obviously Jiang Zhe did not want to give Liu Bei and the Jingzhou army a chance to respond.

Also, I'm afraid that Jiang Zhe made up his mind to keep Liu Bei and his party in Jingzhou forever.

was on a high slope with Jiang Zhe, seeing that his expression was a little depressed, Xun You was puzzled and said, "Shouyi is worried about the war in Jingzhou?" ”

Jiang Zhe chuckled and shook his head, in this late Han Dynasty, I'm afraid no one will be able to understand Jiang Zhe's mood now.

Know that in the Hereafter. Wolong Zhuge Liang was originally Jiang Zhe's idol, and Zhuge Liang "did his best to die." The spirit made Jiang Zhe even more amazed and admired, but at the moment, Jiang Zhe had to get rid of this person with his own hands, "with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others",

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither",

Behind the so-called pacification of the troubled times, there are yellow sand bones and corpses everywhere"

Xun Yu went down to deal with the camp, and the only people who stayed by Jiang Zhe's side were Jia Xu and Sima Yi.

As for why Jiang Zhe brought himself to Jingzhou. Jia Xu and Sima Yi are a little confused, in the eyes of the two, Jiang Zhe's 200,000 Cao army to take Jingzhou is just a matter of time, not to mention Liu Bei, even if it is Jingzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop Jiang Zhe's edge.

Squinting his eyes and looking to the south, Jiang Zhe said with a slight sigh. "Ahead, it's Fancheng, right?"

Sima Yi glanced at Jiang Zhe with some confusion, but saw Jia Xu arching his hand and said, "Yes." Situ, Fancheng is the gateway to Xiangyang, and he is in an important place, and the city will take Xiangyang in a hurry! I heard that Wang Hong, the guard of Fancheng, was trained by Ran Xing to guard the city. If this person can't hold on, it's a trouble! ”

"Hey!" Seeing Jia Xu say this, Sima Yi smiled and said, "My lord's words are wrong, our army is a soldier." Ten times more than Fancheng, or besieged or besieged, just by Situ's thoughts, how can it be troublesome? If you want to talk about trouble, Xiangyang, which is across the river from Fancheng, has 200,000 soldiers and unclear intentions, then it is called trouble! ”

"Xiangyang?" Jia Xu glanced at Sima Yi and said with a smile, "On the contrary, Xiangyang "Hey! ”

When Sima Yi frowned and thought about Jia Xu's words. Jiang Zhe sighed slightly and said, "Wen He is saying, does Cai Mao have the heart to surrender?" ”

"Ahh Jia Xu was stunned, deeply felt that Jiang Zhe was shrewd, and said respectfully, "Qi Qi Situ, this is an arbitrary thought, our army's 200,000 troops take Jingzhou, it stands to reason that Cai Mao should send troops, but until today, our army has never encountered any blocking soldiers, except for Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers and horses, our soldiers are almost effortless and unreasonable!"

If it weren't for Cai Mao's weakness to show the enemy and lure our army deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou, then Cai Mao would have the heart to surrender! Since Situ wants to take Fancheng, why don't he show his banner when he takes the city, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, watch the movement of Xiangyang, and explore Cai Mao's mind! What does Situ think? ”

"Raise the flag?" Jiang Zhe frowned. Secretly thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay! That's it! ”

So far, even if the banner is displayed, it will be no big problem, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, if the guess is good, Liu Bei should be in Jiangling Liu Chair. In order to unite with Jiangdong Sun Ce,

I hope that Liu Bei Mo will now vote in Yizhou "Everything will act according to the direction of history, then"

The world will be settled as soon as possible, and I will be able to get out to accompany my wife and children as soon as possible!

Zhuge Kongming,

On May 9, 200,000 Cao soldiers came to Fancheng and camped 30 miles north of Wancheng. Subsequently, Jiang Zhe ordered Cao Ren to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to take Yucheng, although it was to take it, but Jiang Zhe's original intention was to test the intention of Jingzhou, as well as the intention of Liu Bei and others.

During the march, Zhao Yun and Cao Chun led light cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry to search around from time to time, but they never found any trace of Liu Bei and others, but Jiang Zhe was sure that Liu Bei would be in Fancheng at this moment.

Attacking the city has always been disliked by Jiang Zhe, without him. It's just that the casualties are too serious, that's why. Jiang Zhecai wanted to force Liu Bei and others out of Yucheng. Compared with Fancheng, which has a strong city wall, isn't it easy to deal with Liu Bei in the wild? For example, the long garbage slope!

On the orders of General Jiang Zhe, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Le Jin should raise troops to Fancheng, and 50,000 Cao troops lined up under the city, causing panic in the city.

Cao Jun in front of the formation; "River" in white letters on a black background. The banner of words was waved in the wind, which made Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xu Shu and others in the city have a touch of sorrow on their faces.

"If it's really that person in charge of the army," Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei was also stunned in his heart, and was about to speak, but saw Cao Ren shouting, "Liu Bei, I know that you are in the city, come out and talk back!" ”

"My lord!" Seeing that Liu Bei wanted to step forward, Xu Shu hurriedly dissuaded him and said, "Cao Ren is here." The intention is just to find out whether the lord is in Fancheng. If the lord comes forward at this moment, Jiang Zhe will immediately lead the army! ”

"This," Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, and when he was hesitating, Wang Hong beside him strode forward, holding on to the city wall and shouting, "I am Wang Hong, the guard of Fancheng, who will come to report your name!" ”

Could it be that Liu Bei never came to Fancheng?

A thought flashed in Cao Ren's heart, he thought for a moment, and shouted loudly, "I am Cao Ren, the general under Cao Chengxiang's account, Wang Hong, the heavenly soldiers are the best, why don't you surrender early?" ”

"Ridiculous!" Wang Hong shouted loudly in the city. "Your lord Cao Cao took advantage of the mourning in Jingzhou to lead the army to attack, which is really unkind, what is the heavenly army? This general has been ordered to guard this city in case of night, how can you be allowed to show off your might under the city? ”

"Hahaha!" Cao Ren laughed when he heard this, pointed at Wang Hong and said, "General Ben is waiting here, if you have the guts, you will go out of the city to fight me!" If you have no guts. Retreat into the city, but" I advise you to surrender now. This general will keep you safe, if you are stubborn. When the city is broken, hum! ”

"Presumptuous!" Wang Hong in the city was furious and was about to raise troops to fight, but was dissuaded by Xu Shu.

"General, Cao's army is strong, we can't wait to fight, it's easy to stick to the opportunity and wait for the opportunity, I hope the general will think twice!"

After hearing this, Wang Hong secretly pondered for a while, and was about to speak, but he heard Cao Ren under the city shouting, "Wang Hong." This general has been laid out for a while, if you have the courage, you will go down to the city to raise troops, now my 50,000 army you are also like a tiger, how can you stop my 200,000 army, persuade you to surrender quickly, but you can spare your life! ”

"A rabble of 50,000 people, why bother!" The king of the city was furious and shouted angrily, "Wait for me to raise troops to fight you!" However, in response to Wang Hong, only Cao Ren's laughter was heard.

"Damn it!" Scolding angrily, Wang Hong was about to go down to the city, but was dissuaded by Xu Shu, shook his head and said, "The general is calm and don't be impatient, and tell me to take a look at Cao Ren's formation, maybe help the general!" ”

"Oh?" When Wang Hong heard this, he asked happily. "In this case, please ask Mr. for advice!"

Xu Shu bowed humbly, took a few steps forward, quietly looked at Cao Jun under the city, and looked at half a pillar of incense. Fang Cai opened his mouth and said, "I don't want Cao Ren to understand such a formation?" ”

Hearing Xu Shu say this, Wang Hong's originally somewhat anxious face suddenly calmed down, and he hugged his fists and said respectfully, "How to break the formation, Mr. Wang's guidance or two,"

Nodding, Xu Shu Zhengse said, "This is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, the Eight Gates: Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Jing, Death,

Surprised, open. If you enter from the birth gate, the view gate, and open the door, it is auspicious; If you enter from the injured door, the shocked door, or the closed door, you will be injured; From Dumen, the dead and the people are dead, "I don't want Cao Ren to understand this formation, hey!

To break this formation. It is necessary to send a general to attack people from the southeast corner of Shangshengmen, and go out to the west gate, and their formation will be chaotic. ”

"Thank you, sir!" Wang Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and went down to the city to raise troops to fight.

And Cao Ren under the city saw the gate of Fancheng slowly open. Wang Hong wore armor to fight, and shook the flag with a smile.

In the city, Liu Bei saw Wang Hong's troops into Cao Ren's array, turned around and said to Xu Shu, "Yuanzhi Yiming formation Faye? ”

Xu Shu arched his hand and said humbly, "I just understand a little." I learned a lot in the following, and the formation was also touched. But he is not very proficient, according to the following opinion, Cao Ren's formation may have been learned from Jiang Situ,"

Recalling that Liu Bei had relatives in the "Eight Gates Yan Escape Array" under Jiang Zhebu of Bishui Guan, he nodded and said, "Situ is a celebrity, if he was born twenty years early, I am afraid that the world will not fall here, but it is a pity that he is now devoting himself to Cao Cao and secretly investing in Mingzhu!" ”

Gently caressing the wall battlement, Xu Shu sighed slightly. "When I first met Jiang Zhe, I was also shocked. This person's eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts, "Jiang Zhe led the army here, perhaps because he calculated that the lord wanted to join the greedy city, so he came in a hurry, so I couldn't wait for the response, and I felt very uneasy, lord." I won't have a lot of dreams at night, I'll go back to Gangneung! ”

"What Yuan Zhi said is not right!" Liu Bei shook his head and said, "If you don't know that Cao Jun is coming." That's still there, since it is known that Cao Junbing is coming. How can we leave behind the people who have come with us along the way? ”

"The lord is too worried," Xu Shu sighed slightly. Ning Shen said, "One, at the moment, I can't afford to take care of him, and it's still too late to protect myself, how can the lord protect Fancheng?" Moreover, although Cao Jun is fierce, Jiang Zhe is a benevolent man, and he will not treat the people of Fancheng harshly, on the contrary, if Jiang Zhe captures the lord, this time. I'm afraid Jiang Zhe won't show mercy anymore,"

"Hmm" Chuan Gang Yintou said, recalling the original cup of wine with Jiang Zhe. "Indeed" is more than hot I am afraid that I have already made a murderous intention, and I must wait for it, alas! If Cai Mao is willing to join forces with us, he may be able to block the Situ army! ”

Liu Bei's voice fell, Zhuge Liang walked up to the city, heard his master's words, and said lightly, "Don't worry, the soldiers and horses of Jiangling are enough to block Jiang Zhe's soldiers and horses!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Shu turned around and saw someone coming. said with a smile, "Kong Ming is here!" ”

Nodding, Zhuge Liang stepped forward, suddenly heard the noise under the city, turned his head to look, frowned and said. "Cao's army is strong, and we can only hold on. Why play? ”

Xu Shu is the matter of Cao Ren's oval battle outside the city... told Zhuge Liang, but saw that his face became more and more solemn. Puzzled, he asked, "Kong Ming,

If you are afraid of the war, the Cao army will inevitably take advantage of the situation to take the city, and it should be to frustrate the spirit of the Cao army, I don't know what's wrong? ”

"Although what Yuan Zhi said is not inappropriate, but" Looking deeply at the formation of the Cao army outside the city, Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Yuan Zhi is bad, this formation is not an ordinary formation

"I know this, it's the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array," Xu Shu was a little confused.

"Ryo said," he exhaled slightly. Zhuge Liang Zhengse said, "It's not that Yuan Zhi knows the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array!" ”

"What?" Xu Shu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he turned his head to look out of the city, seeing the changes in Cao Jun's formation. surrounded Wang Hong in the formation, and exclaimed, "I was negligent!" "I said. Xu Shu recalled the scene of the battle of Guan Jiangzhe in Bishui that day, and his face changed greatly.

Xu Shu's color changed, Liu Bei was also in a hurry, if Fancheng's defender Wang Hong died, how could Fancheng be protected?

Immediately, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang for advice, "What is the right thing now?" Yuan Zhi, military advisor? ”

Glancing at Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang frowned and looked at Cao Jun's formation, shook his head and said, "This formation, Cao Ren must have learned from Jiang Zhe, Liang doesn't know what is in it, how can he talk about breaking the city?" ”

"Brother" Guan Yu, who realized that the situation was not good, stepped forward and said solemnly, "General Wang must not be lost, why don't you ask me and my third brother to go out of the city to kill Cao Jun for a while, and relieve the siege of General Wang!" ”

"Big brother!" Zhang Fei stepped forward with a snake spear in his hand.

Xu Shu sighed secretly, blamed himself and said, "It's all to blame for the big plan in the lower eyes" If Cao Jun knows that the lord is in Fancheng, he will attack it in the future! ”

"Yuan Zhi's mind is ready to understand" patting Xu Shu on the shoulder, Liu Bei Zhengse said, "But in my opinion, how can Situ not know that we are waiting to join the city?" Whether you come forward or not, it's all the same, General Wang is willing to disobey General Cai Mao's order to take us in. How can we sit idly by and watch General Wang take risks? Since the Yellow Turban, Liu Bei has experienced countless wars of all sizes, and has never been afraid of war, this was the case in the past, and it is the same today! ”

"Big brother said it well!" Zhang Fei laughed. Holding the snake spear in his hand, he said hatefully, "Wait for my three brothers to go out of the city and frustrate the spirit of the Cao army!" ”

"Does the lord really want to fight Cao Jun?" Zhuge Liang hesitated and said, "I'm afraid Yuan Zhi has also mentioned it." If the lord shows up in this matter, Jiang Zhe will lead a large army to come,"

"Heh" Liu Bei slowly pulled out the double swords at his waist. said self-deprecatingly, "In this way, you can only resign yourself to fate, second brother, third brother!" ”

"Oh!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei should shout.

"Slow down!" In Liu Bei's confusion, Zhuge Liang secretly calculated, hesitated and said, "Since the lord wants to break this array, Liang has to help, this array may have been deleted by Jiang Zhe, but it is roughly similar to the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, today is May 9th; nbsp; , the lord might as well go to Dumen with General Guan and General Zhang, first destroy the eye where Cao Ren is located, and then the lord will kill from Dumen, General Guan will kill from Shengmen, and General Zhang will kill from Jingmen "If Liang is not bad, maybe break this formation!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Bei nodded, took a deep breath, and turned around and shouted to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. "Second brother, third brother, go!"

"Drink!"

At the same time, outside the city, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Le Jin were in the eyes of the formation, looking at Wang Hong rushing left and right in the formation, but they couldn't get out, shaking their heads and laughing, "The puppet has no plan, arrogant, ridiculous!" ”

"Zixiao" Cao Ren's voice fell, and Le Jin next to him said with a smile, "Although Situ sent me and others to test Jingxiang's movements, and by the way, to find out whether Liu Bei was in Fancheng City, so I could make plans as soon as possible, but if this person is really the guard of Fancheng." Maybe we can take Fancheng today, and save Situ from bothering, what do you two think? ”

"Hmm" Cao Ren nodded and agreed. The intentions of the 200,000 soldiers and horses in Xiangyang are unknown, and it is no wonder that Situ is so cautious, but "If you can take Wancheng and ask Situ for credit, it will not be a good thing, Mancheng, what do you think?" ”

"This" Li Dian hesitated and said. "It's good, but it's still necessary to be cautious!"

"Hey!" Cao Ren smiled, looked at Li Dian and said, "When did Man Cheng become so timid?" We have 50,000 troops, not to mention 23,000 soldiers and horses in Yucheng District, even if it is 200,000 Jingzhou troops in Xiangyang, I am not afraid! As long as I lay out this array, "Although I have never learned well, then Liu Bei is not in front of me, but it will be enough, if he dares to rush my formation." Humph! ”

As he was talking, suddenly the gate of Fancheng slowly opened, and Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Le Jin looked at it. Seeing Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei leading thousands of Fancheng defenders to kill.

"Huh? Liu Bei? Cao Ren's eyes lit up. Then he laughed and said, "Situ is not bad, Liu Bei is really in Fancheng!" ”

"Humph!" Holding a spear in his hand, Le Jin sneered and said, "Thousands of people dare to go out of the city to face the battle, and kill themselves, Zixiao,"

"Don't worry" seemed to see through Le Jin's thoughts, and Cao Ren gestured in the direction of Wang Hong. said indifferently, "Liu Bei did it, but this person's ear!" Wouldn't it be better to lure him into battle and kill him? As he spoke, Cao Ren waved his flag. Command his soldiers to put Liu Bei into the formation.

Compared with the peace and ease with the generals of Cao Jun, the current situation of Liu Bei and others is indeed not good. Entering the formation, Liu Bei and the others almost never encountered any resistance, but when Liu Bei and the others converged with Wang Hong and were about to kill out of the formation, they saw that the formation portal had changed greatly, and what caught their eyes was Cao Bing like a tide.

"Oops!" Zhuge Liang's complexion on top of Fan Cheng also changed greatly, he never thought that these eight golden lock formations could still change formations.

Xu Shu beside him also saw that it was clear and asked eagerly. "Kong Ming, where is the birth gate right now?"

Zhuge Liang frowned, gritted his teeth and said with hatred. "If the bright calculation is not bad, I'm afraid there is only Jingmen" But where is Jingmen, even if it is called Liangmen. It will take some time, let alone the lord."

"That" Xu Shu looked shocked, leaning over and staring out of the city.

Just as Zhuge Liang said, Cao Ren deliberately put Liu Bei and the others into the formation, and then changed the formation. trapped Liu Bei and others in the formation, not to mention Liu Bei and Wang Hong, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also felt a deep headache.

Don't talk about making moves, just dealing with the spears stabbed by the Cao soldiers around you has become a problem, how can you talk about making moves?

"Damn it!" Aroused by Cao Bing's anger in his heart, Zhang Fei waved the Zhangba snake spear fiercely, knocking the first few shield soldiers away for several zhang, and was about to move forward, but saw the back row of Cao Jun's shield soldiers rushing up, entangled themselves to death, Zhang Feiwang. But he saw that most of the soldiers behind him had been submerged by the surging tide of Cao's army. Gritted his teeth and scolded, "What a ghost formation, it's really difficult to entangle!" ”

"Whew!" It seems that he heard Zhang Fei's angry shouting. Guan Yu's eyes widened, the glaive sword was raised, and the knife fell in his hand, cutting several shield soldiers and shields in half. However, Cao Jun seems to be inexhaustible. Hugging over, seeing this, Guan Yu shouted urgently. "Big brother, this battle is very weird, don't be in love. I'll kill you! ”

"Hmm!" has successfully killed Wang Hong's side, for him, Liu Bei turned around and shouted, "Second brother, second brother, follow the guard, do according to Jun Fengchuanbai!" ”

"Yes!" Guan Yu should let out a snort and turn his eyes. But his complexion changed greatly, and he shouted urgently, "Delete the formation; nbsp; Changed formation? ”

"What?" Liu Bei looked around, shocked in his heart, and saw that the eight portals had long disappeared. The only thing that catches the eye is Cao Jun, who connects the heavens and the earth.

"Big brother!" This kind of danger is deeply intractable even for Zhang Fei.

"I can't take care of much, just rush to the door, second brother, third brother, General Wang!"

"Oh!"

In the middle of the formation, Cao Ren looked at Liu Bei and his party towards a door, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, but the fact was out of Cao Ren's expectations, only to see a strong wind blowing on the flat ground, and the sand and dust brought up made Cao Jun's soldiers squint, and the formation was chaotic, and taking this opportunity, Liu Bei actually wanted to kill out of the formation.

"Tsk!" I saw Cao Ren glance at the city with a complicated expression, frowned and said, "Demon magic?" ”

As one of Jiang Zhe's most trusted generals. Cao Ren's understanding of unreasonable matters is indeed much better than that of Xiahou Dun's reckless man, even if Sanzhe keeps his mouth shut about it, Cao Ren can more or less guess it. Hexology, I'm afraid it really exists!

"It's a pity, Zixiao!" Seeing Liu Bei and his entourage fleeing back to the city in embarrassment, Le Jin said with great regret, "I almost captured Liu Bei, this wind is really not the right time!" ”

"No!" Cao Ren shook his head and said self-deprecatingly. "The soldiers have only practiced this formation for one day, and I want to use it to break the enemy, I really underestimate the opponent," he said, he looked up at Fancheng City, and said lightly, "Although it is a pity, it is confirmed that Liu Bei is in Fancheng, and he has finally completed Situ's orders, and now, it depends on whether Liu Bei wants to be killed and trapped in Fancheng, or desperate and go south to Jiangling, no matter what, he can't escape the grasp of our army!"

Li Dian immediately sent people to the two generals, Zhao Yun and Cao Chun, and told them to act according to the plan and closely monitor every move in Wancheng! ”

No, the last will obey! ”

Liu Bei, what do you want now? If you are trapped in Fancheng, there is only one way to die, if you escape from Wancheng, there may be a glimmer of life, provided that if you escape Zhao Yun's 5,000 light cavalry and Cao Chun's 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry......

"Hmph" glanced at the city lightly. Cao Ren shouted, "Take the corpses of our soldiers and retreat ten miles back to camp!" ”

"No!"

"Cao Ren finally withdrew his troops; nbsp; Xu Shu sighed slightly, turned around and looked apologetically at Wang Hong, who was full of trauma, and arched his hand and said, "I have neglected to supervise below." I almost missed the general's life, and I am deeply ashamed! ”

"Mr. doesn't have to be like this" Wang Hong was open-minded, and said with a smile when he heard the words, "That formation is really weird, Cao Jun is only 50,000, but I am in the array, but everywhere I can see, it is Cao Jun." It's incredible! ”

"When did Cao Zixiao learn the ghost formation, it was difficult!" Zhang Fei paused hatefully. Guan Yu beside him nodded sympathetically.

"Whew!" Exhaling heavily, Liu Bei put the double-strand sword into the sheath and said with a long sigh. "Just after the confrontation, we were at a disadvantage, but I don't know why Cao Ren withdrew his troops"

"Without him, but persecution!" Liu Bei's voice fell, Zhuge Liang explained, "The city of Wancheng is the important land of Jingzhou, the city is strong, Cao Jun does not want to attack the city in order to avoid heavy casualties, but wants to force us out of Fancheng, according to the city to defend the only way to die, out of the city may still have a glimmer of life, this is the problem that Jiang Zhe gave me!" ”

"Ahh Xu Shu nodded and echoed with a wry smile. "Ten deaths and nine deaths" are just based on the following opinions, I am afraid that there is not much difference between the two. Jiang Situ, I'm afraid you won't let me go to Jiangling so easily

"Without further ado," covering the wounds on his body, Wang Hong said with a straight face, "When the Cao army has not sent cavalry to block the port, Uncle Liu Huang and you will quickly take a fast boat to the south, if it is late,"

"This," Liu Bei was obviously a little difficult to decide.

Just when everyone couldn't discuss, Wang Hong suddenly received a notice that Cao's army sent thousands of cavalry to patrol outside Fancheng, and even occupied the port outside the city. Many ships were burned down by Cao Jun.

Hearing this, Liu Bei and the others sighed slightly. Since Cao's army blocked the port with a large number of cavalry, it may have become a cake to go south along the river.

"It seems that Jiang Zhe has calculated that we want to go south along the river," Zhuge Liang felt very troubled and said helplessly. "Now that the waterway is blocked, the lord is going to Gangneung. I'm afraid I'll have to go by road."

That night, as Zhuge Liang expected, it was exactly the same. Jiang Zhe ordered Cao Ren to camp west of Fancheng, and Xiahou to camp east of Fancheng. Jiang Zhe himself re-encamped north of Fancheng, no more, no less, and the third camp was only ten miles away from Yucheng.

Circumference three missing a strategy!

Compared with Fancheng, Liu Bei and others are worried about Zhong Zhong. Jiang Zhe was naturally in a much better mood than them.

However, after Cao Ren sent the battle report, Jiang Zhe was also somewhat sure that under Liu Bei's account, the person who knew witchcraft was Zhuge Liang.

Manipulating the celestial phenomena, in other words, is the time of the day!

If Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei can't be eliminated here, when they are hostile to them in the future, they will be inferior to Tianshi first, how can they fight?

To know. At the beginning, it was a storm that cut off Yuan Shao's 200,000 soldiers and horses, causing Cao Cao to turn defeat into victory and become the overlord of the world!

In addition to himself, the remaining five heavenly books. I'm afraid there is a copy in Zhuge Liang's hands; nbsp; ，

Book of Heaven, if it is really a success, Xiao He is also a failure!

Jiang Zhe felt that his head was a little swollen.

"Situ?" Seeing that Jiang Zhe was a little uncomfortable. Jia Xu, who was pointing to the marching map and guessing Liu Bei's next move, asked worriedly, "Situ is not lacking?" Why don't you rest for a while?"

"It's okay, it's okay" put up his spirit, and Zhengse said, "This trip to Jingzhou, if it goes well, within three or five years, you can calm down the troubled times, and you can't afford to lose!" If it weren't for the scriptures and reminders, if Liu Xuande was asked to take a boat south to Jiangling, heh! Wen He went on to say that now that our army has surrounded Fancheng on three sides, leaving only the south, and has also sent countless light cavalry to see Fancheng's every move, in such a situation, can Liu Bei have a plan to escape? ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu arched his hand, looked deeply at the marching map on the table, shook his head and said, "Situ's layout is just to force Liu Bei out of Fancheng, and Liu Bei's advisers can see it clearly, but even if they expect Situ's thoughts, they have to act according to Situ's layout" Defending Fancheng is a dead end, and the subordinates think that Liu Bei will definitely abandon Greedy City and leave!" ”

"Is Liu Bei sure to get out of the five thousand light horsemen and the three thousand tiger and leopard riders?" Sima Yi on the side interjected.

"Hey!" Jia Xu's eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's not impossible, Situ, don't forget, Fancheng is a Jingxiang land, and there are two or three hundred thousand people in the city, the so-called fish-eyed pearls,"

Hearing what Jia Xu said, Jiang Zhe's face changed slightly, and he muttered, "You mean"

Sima Yi beside him was also a little stunned, and glanced at Jia Xu with a little admiration.

"Situ, now Liu Bei wants to get out, this is the only way!"

Frowning and thinking for a while, Jiang Zhe turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, go to Xiangyang on my behalf!" Go overnight! ”

Sima Yi was slightly stunned, and immediately understood. He smiled and said, "Yes, Situ! ”

Liu Xuande, would you really do this?
