Chapter 367: Huo Jun
Liu Cong's existence is too much of a threat to Liu Bei, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Liu Bei, who received Zhang Fei's information, did not even have time to return to Xiangyang to stabilize the situation, so he led the 30,000 Jingzhou army that had just been subdued to Yicheng south, trying to completely nip the hidden danger in the bud.

During the unitary period, the bloody remnant sun dyed the earth red, indicating that a bloody storm was gradually brewing.
On the horizon in the distance, the soldiers who were black and oppressive appeared densely like ants, as if a thick dark cloud was drifting in, and the thunder was bursting, causing great psychological pressure on the defenders at the head of the city.
At the west gate of Yicheng, Cai Wei and Kuai Liang looked solemn, they really didn't expect that Liu Bei would send troops so decisively, isn't this guy afraid of any chaos in Xiangyang in the rear?
Right now, it's almost dark, and everyone knows that dark is not suitable for attacking the city, in other words, in the nearly half an hour before the sun sets, Liu Bei will definitely attack the city like crazy.
The defenders of Yicheng are less than 3,000, but Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are 30,000, and the difference in strength between the two sides is ten times.
Woo woo woo -
The melodious horn sounded, and the 30,000 army set up a formation outside Yicheng, and it seemed that Liu Bei was not ready to greet Cai Wei in the city, which showed how resolute he was to kill Liu Cong and Cai.
Cai Yan squinted his cloudy eyes, stared coldly at the Xiangyang army outside the city, and asked Kuai Liangdao: "Zirou, do you think we ...... Can you make it until dark? ”
Kuai Liang asked rhetorically, "What does Cai Gong think?" ”
"Is Zirou taking the old man's exam?" Cai sarcastically laughed, "The new Xiangyang army may not be able to serve Liu Bei, so how can it serve him to death?" ”
"The students' views are the opposite of Tsai's." Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "Those who disagree with Liu Bei are afraid that they will be killed by him a long time ago, and the Jingzhou army in front of them, in order to leave a good impression in front of the new master, will definitely try their best to perform." ”
Cai Yan's face changed: "Mo Fei Zirou thinks that Yicheng can't hold it?" ”
Kuai Liang was silent for a moment. Only one word came out of his mouth: "Difficult!" ”
"......" Cai Yan knows that Kuai Liang has always been wise, and now that even he said so, then Yicheng, I'm afraid that I can't hold it. At the moment, he said with a heavy heart, "If this is the case, what can we do?" ”
Kuai Liang said: "A few miles west of Yicheng is the Han River, we can leave a part of the soldiers to guard the city, and then go out of the west gate to take a boat to the south." And the speed must be fast, otherwise when Liu Bei divides his troops to block the four gates, we can't leave even if we want to! ”
Cai said with a difficult face: "If we evacuate rashly, the morale of the defenders in the city will be low, and I am afraid that the city will be surrendered immediately!" ”
Kuai Liang smiled slightly and said: "The Yicheng guard is a disciple of Cai Gong, how to convince him, I believe that Cai Gong has his own measure!" ”
Cai Wei nodded and sighed: "That's it, for today's plan, it can only be like this!" ”
So Cai Yan immediately ordered someone to call the Yicheng guards.
Moments later. A tall, long, powerful but extremely young general strode in front of Cai Yan and saluted: "The last general, Huo Jun, has seen Cai Gong!" ”
Huo Jun Huo Zhongmiao, a native of Zhijiang, Nanjun, is calm and calm, good at martial arts, and is now twenty-four years old.
More than ten years ago, Dong Zhuo was in power, and the world was in chaos. Huo Jun's eldest brother Huo Du recruited hundreds of villagers in Zhijiang to resist foreign enemies, and then Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou. recommended it to Liu Biao, who nodded and agreed, and appointed him as the lieutenant of Yicheng County, and since then, the Huo family has been labeled as the Cai family.
Last year, Huo Du died of illness. Cai Wei also asked Cai Mao to propose that Huo Jun take over the post of Yicheng County Lieutenant, it is no exaggeration to say that the Huo family is absolutely inseparable from Cai Yan's support today, so for Cai Wei, Huo Jun is quite grateful.
"Zhong Miao, the old man asked you, if the army outside the city launches a strong attack, how long can you hold Yicheng?"
Huo Jun's expression was solemn, he thought for a while and replied, "About one day and one night!" ”
One day and one night!?
Cai Yan and Kuai Liang glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes, originally they thought that Huo Jun's answer would be a few hours, even before dark, but they didn't expect that the number he said would be so amazing.
"Is Zhong Miao's words serious?"
Huo Jun nodded and replied: "Liu Bei has just subdued this Xiangyang army, in order to prevent the generals under his command from rebelling, the last general is expected to dare not divide his troops to attack the four gates at the same time, which will reduce the pressure on our defense of the city a lot, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the other party, our army is not well prepared, maybe it can hold out longer, but to keep Yicheng for a day and a night, the last general is still sure!" ”
Cai Wei and Kuai Liang were stunned when they heard this, their previous analysis was from the perspective of the general, but Huo Jun found another way, taking Liu Bei's subjective consciousness as a consideration, so the views of the two sides were naturally very different.
However, there is no doubt that compared with the two points of view, the possibility analyzed by Huo Jun is obviously much greater, after all, regardless of the general's thoughts, the supreme commander of this army is still Liu Bei after all, and Liu Bei In order to ensure that this army does not get out of his control, how can he let the general lead an army alone and leave under his nose?
"Uncle, it's not good, Liu Bei has divided his troops!"
At this moment, Cai He, the son of Cai Yan's clan, shouted, and the shocked Cai Wei and Kuai Liang's faces changed drastically, but Huo Jun's expression did not change, and he looked out of the city silently: "Cai Gong Mo should not worry, this army is the two thousand new field army led by Zhang Fei before, Liu Bei should be reluctant to let the elite under his command be consumed here, so they are leaving at this moment, it should be just to block the four gates, so as to prevent us from abandoning the city and leaving!" ”
"......" Hearing Huo Jun's words, a trace of inexplicable bitter smile appeared on the corner of Cai Yan's mouth, he looked at Kuai Liang with a strange face, sighed helplessly, and said to Huo Jun: "Zhong Miao, before entering Yicheng, the old man has ordered someone to send an urgent letter to Jiangling, and the reinforcements will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest, and before that, the safety of Yicheng depends on Zhong Miao!" ”
"Cai Gong rest assured, but there is a general, and he will not let the enemy cross the thunder pool one step." Huo Jun said and glanced at the Xiangyang army that was gradually approaching outside the city, and suggested, "Now that the enemy army is about to attack the city, the city is dangerous, Cai Gong and Mr. Kuai, let's go back to the city to rest first." ”
Cai Yan knew that staying on the city wall would not help defend the city, but would distract Huo Jun, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, Cai Zhong, Cai He, you two lead five hundred soldiers to stay in the city and obey Zhong Miao's dispatch to help Zhong Miao!" ”
Cai Zhong and Cai He glanced at each other, clasped their fists and responded: "No!" ”
"Thank you Cai Gong!"
Seeing Cai Wei and Kuai Liang get off the city wall, Huo Jun turned to look at the bright and blood-colored 'Liu' character outside the city, and a chilling edge burst out of his eyes. (To be continued.) )
