Cadre army battalion.

"Lord!"

Jia Xu entered the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed to Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng waved his hand and asked, "How, can there be progress?" ”

Jia Xu said: "I have been in contact with the Jiangling Han clan, and the important people of the Jingzhou Kuai, Huang, Wang and other clans are now all under house arrest by Liu Bei in the army, but their families and private guests have been sent to Jingnan, and the Kuai, Huang, Wang and other clans all have the heart to serve the lord." However, Liu Bei already had precautions, and the Jingzhou celebrities Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue only said that they had moved the Jiangling Han clan, and about 800 people helped our army break through the city. ”

"Eight hundred!"

Luo Zheng got up and paced back and forth in the tent for two steps, and said: "There are no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangling, and Liu Bei has taken precautions, and it is only difficult for 800 people to succeed, can you let the Jingzhou Shi clan think of other ways?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers have contacted the Jingnan Shi clan to instigate the Wuxi Barbarian rebellion, there is news recently!" ”

Luo Zheng was pleased at this time, and said, "Then wait a little longer, and wait until you are more than seventy percent sure before you start." ”

The two discussed some more details, and Jia Xu left the Chinese army's tent.

At the beginning of April, when the Qianjun and the Chu army were facing each other in Jiangling, under the secret instigation of the Jingnan Shi clan, the Wuxi barbarians living in the south of Wuling brazenly rebelled, and the leader of the Wuxi barbarians, Shamoke, led 8,000 barbarians to attack the city and plunder the land, and Jingnan was in chaos.

Liu Bei received the news and urgently summoned the civil and military ministers in the name of Liu Qi, the king of Chu, to discuss countermeasures, with Da Huang Zhong as the main general and Wei Yan as the deputy general, and led troops to Jingnan overnight to quell the rebellion. However, as soon as Huang Zhong's army set off, news came from Changling, Guiyang, and Lingling one after another, and there were many powerful rebellions in various places, and the situation in Jingnan was eroded for a while. There is a great tendency to set the prairie on fire.

Liu Bei was anxious, and Liu Qi, the king of Chu, was also panicked.

Late at night. Liu Bei's official residence.

Pang Tong said with a solemn expression: "Lord, this must be done by the Jingzhou Shi clan!" ”

Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed: "Be prepared to be kind to the Jingxiang clan. I only want to keep one side peaceful, and I don't want the people of Jingzhou to be brutalized by the war, but the Jingxiang people have always refused to work together to fight against the captives! ”

Xu Shu was silent for a moment, and then said: "The only way to do this is to give up Jiangling and retreat to Jingnan." ”

"This ......"

Liu Bei's eyes froze, and he was speechless for a while.

Pang Tong also said: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true, if you stick to Jiangling. It is bound to be impossible to take into account the situation in Jingnan. If you don't do enough to suppress the Jingnan rebellion and stabilize the situation, I am afraid that the general situation is in danger, please make a decision quickly! ”

"That's it!"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "It's up to Yuan Zhi and Shi Yuan to arrange it!" ”

"Yes!"

Pang Tong and Xu Shu surrendered their orders and left quickly.

At the same time, the cadre army battalion.

"Lord!"

Sima Yi hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and said to Luo Zheng: "Wang Wei, the general of Jingzhou, has long intended to serve and has an industry in Jiangling. Now hundreds of large ships have been prepared, and they want to meet our army to enter Gangneung by water! ”

"What?"

Luo Zheng Huo Ran stood up and said in a deep voice: "Is this true? ”

Sima Yi said: "It's true, I have already discussed it with the military advisor and Lord Fazheng. Wang Wei was originally a general of Liu Biao, but he was seized of military power by Liu Bei, and he always wanted to get rid of Liu Bei as soon as possible. There is also a joint letter from the Jingxiang clan as a guarantee for it, so that there will be no fraud. And Wang Wei has co-opted a captain of the garrison at the south gate of Jiangling. It can receive our army into the city. ”

Luo Zheng got up and paced a few steps under the tent, and quickly made up his mind. He said in a deep voice: "Quickly summon all the generals to come to discuss the matter!" ”

"Yes!"

Sima Yi agreed, and immediately turned around and walked out.

The next day, before dawn, the earth-shattering sound of war drums and bull horns was already lit up outside Gangneung City.

By the time Liu Bei arrived at the north gate of Jiangling with a group of Jingzhou civil and military forces, the 100,000 cadres had already set up a formation, and launched an overwhelming attack on Jiangling from the east, west, and north gates, with a posture of not breaking Jiangling and vowing not to give up.

Generals Huang Zhong and Wei Yan brought 10,000 soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion, and there were still 40,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangling City.

There are 10,000 soldiers and horses at the east, west and north gates, and 10,000 soldiers and horses are in the center as an emergency team.

While dealing with the offensive of the cadre army, Liu Bei seized the time to arrange a comprehensive withdrawal to Jingnan.

The offensive of the cadres was very fierce, and the overwhelming attack lasted from the morning until the sun set, and there was still no intention of collecting the troops to rest and recuperate, thousands of torches were lit, and the 100,000-strong army was divided into several groups to attack in turn.

Liu Bei became more and more careless, and ordered the three gates to be strictly defended, and did not dare to let the private soldiers of the Shi clan come to help defend the city.

At night, the sound of Sanmen was still shocking, and the vicious battle continued.

At the south gate of Gangneung, hundreds of large boats rowed over from the river in the dark and leaned on the heads of horses.

Yan Xing, the commander of the Western Army, was the first to jump onto the dock, and the 10,000 infantry of the Western Army on board quickly boarded the dock to line up. After Yan Xing issued the agreed code, in the piercing sound of the machine, the suspension bridge of the south gate of Jiangling was quickly lowered, and the city gate slowly opened.

"Kill!"

Yan Xing snorted and immediately led 10,000 elite soldiers to the city.

At the north gate, the tragic offensive and defensive battles are still in full swing.

Liu Bei waited in the city guard camp, not daring to go back to the house to rest.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong were also on their side, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

"Lord, something is wrong!"

Suddenly, a small colonel strode in and howled.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Bei's heart jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "Speak slowly, what happened?" ”

The colonel hurriedly shouted: "The cadres have entered the city from the south gate, and they have already killed the camp of the Chinese army!" ”

"What?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, "The cadres entered the city from the south gate?" ”

Xu Shu and Pang Tong were also shocked and inexplicable, staring at the little school.

"Exactly!"

The little colonel nodded vigorously, and said with a sad face: "The cadres got hundreds of big ships and attacked the south gate from the waterway. ”

Liu Bei's face instantly turned pale, and he was speechless for a while.

Pang Tong said in a condensed voice: "This must be caused by the Jingxiang clan having taken refuge in Luo Zheng and secretly responding. Now the south gate has been lost, the cadres who entered the city must be the elite of a hundred battles, and the cadres are storming the three gates, our army wants to drive out the cadres who have entered the city is impossible, Jiangling is no longer defensible, please call the navy to come to respond, immediately cross the river to the south, late will be the big thing to rest! ”

Xu Shu also said: "Yes, please leave quickly!" ”

Liu Bei is also a decisive person, knowing the crisis, he can't tolerate the slightest hesitation, and he looks up to the sky and sighs: "That's it, according to the words of Yuan Zhi and Shi Yuan, quickly summon the navy to come to respond, and then draw troops and horses from Sanmen, be sure to break the cadres who entered the city!" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Shu and Pang Tong hurriedly surrendered their orders and turned to leave.

Just when Liu Bei was about to draw troops and horses from Sanmen and break the cadres who entered the city first, Yan Xing had already led the 10,000 cadres who entered the city into the military camp in the city, and the 10,000 Chu troops in the center were in close contact.
