After the civil strife in Jingzhou, Liu Qi succeeded to the throne with the full support of Liu Bei, while the military and political power was controlled by Liu Bei. As soon as Liu Bei gained power, he immediately implemented various benevolent policies to buy the hearts of the people, and at the same time promoted the officials of various factions who had been suppressed by the Cai clan to buy the hearts of the upper classes. Zhao Yun was ordered to be the central protector of the army, to guard the Assassin Mansion, and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Wen Ping, and Wei Yan were appointed as generals to take charge of the army. With Xu Shu as the military advisor, Sun Qian, Mi Fang, etc., he was on the side. Strengthen military training, and at the same time actively recruit new recruits.

At this time, Sun Jian gathered 200,000 troops to attack Xiangyang, Liu Bei changed the previous strategy of passive defense of Liu Biaoshi, personally commanded an army of 180,000 to meet the battle, and the two sides set up a position on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River.

The flag was unfurled, the war drums sounded, and a young military general wearing a full drape, red tassels, and an iron spear in his hand burst out, and his temperament was like an eagle striking the sky, which was eye-catching.

Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, "This person is Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce." Known as the little overlord, he has the courage of ten thousand people! ”

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, "I'll go get his head!" "Rush out. Jingzhou's military drums thundered.

Seeing this, Cheng Pu, who was beside Sun Jian, said urgently: "It's Zhang Fei, this person is fierce and abnormal, I don't know ...... major general" Sun Jian said indifferently: "Ce'er can deal with it!" ”

Sun Ce, who was in the field, saw a fierce and abnormal general rushing towards him, and he was not afraid of rejoicing, and urged his war horse to meet him. In the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected, Sun Ce shouted, and sprinted with a gun. Zhang Fei raised the snake spear and blocked the spear that Sun Ce had stabbed. The two horses staggered, each running a dozen steps, and with a pull on the reins, the war horse man stood up, turned around, and sprinted again. After several rounds of repeating, the two horsemen were entangled and fought together. Zhang Fei roared angrily, the snake spear sank vigorously, tearing the air and buzzing; Sun Ce did not show weakness, and the iron spear in his hand flew up and down like a spiritual snake. The clashing of weapons resounded loudly. The horses of both sides stepped on their hooves and spun in circles.

The war drums of both sides were earth-shattering, and the shouts of the soldiers were simply earth-shattering.

The two generals fought for more than 30 rounds without a winner. Sun Jian suddenly pulled out the ancient ingot knife and swung it forward, and the army shouted violently, and the banners surged, and the people and horses were like a tide, and they slashed at Liu Beijun. Liu Bei waved his double-strand sword, and the soldiers let out a shout in unison and greeted Sun Jianjun. Sun Ce and Zhang Fei immediately stopped fighting and returned to their respective armies.

The armies of the two sides slammed into each other like two gigantic tides. The scuffle and fight lasted until dusk, regardless of victory or defeat, and they were separated.

The war was in a stalemate, and it was very difficult for Sun Jian to break through Liu Beijun, and it was almost impossible for Liu Beijun to defeat Sun Jianjun.

Compared with the fierce fighting on the border, the west side of Jingzhou was unusually calm. Xincheng, a city on the border with Hanzhong in the west of Jingzhou. On this morning, the city gates were opened as usual, and the soldiers and people were doing what they had to do every morning, without a single thought, and it was a little dull.

Two soldiers leaned against the wallpile and chatted. The tall one was a little worried and said, "Sun Jian's military horse is here again!" I don't know if Lord Liu Bei can stop it! The shorter one said, "It should be fine." I heard that Lord Liu Bei and Sun Jian have been fighting by the Xiangjiang River for more than ten days, and the two sides have no winner or loser! Lord Liu Bei is really amazing! I think we were all pressed and beaten by Sun Jian before, but now we can also fight with Sun Jianye! It's exciting! The tall soldier nodded sympathetically, "If we can defeat Sun Jian this time, maybe we will be able to gradually develop and grow!" Suddenly he felt a little vibration under his feet, frowned, and asked the short soldier, "Do you feel it?" ”

The short soldier didn't know, "What?" ”

The tall soldier subconsciously looked out of the city, it didn't matter what he saw, but he was startled! He actually saw countless cavalry surging from the direction of Hanzhong, and the smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun! "Oh my God!"

At the same time, the elite of the Lu Bu army, disguised as a caravan under the city gate, suddenly attacked, instantly killed the soldiers guarding the gate, captured the city gate, and then the iron cavalry surged in. Half an hour later, the whole city was in the hands of Zhang Lang, and the Lu character battle flag replaced Liu Biao's banner.

Zhang Lang said with some surprise: "I didn't expect Liu Bei to arrange 20,000 defenders here, if it weren't for their guards being too careless, we are afraid that our operation will fail!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The abilities of strategists and generals must still be at the same level in order to exert their maximum effectiveness!" Although Xu Yuanzhi guessed that we might be in trouble, the guard who arranged it was a prisoner with a wine bag and a rice bag! ”

Zhang Lang smiled slightly, and said to Ma Dai and Ma Tie: "You two lead the five thousand cavalry of the headquarters to stay in the new city." "No."

"The rest of the generals, follow me to attack Xiangyang!"

After Zhang Lang occupied the new city, he did not make any stops, and the handsome 55,000 blue wolf army suddenly rode out of the new city and ran to Xiangyang at full speed. It was Zhao Yun who stayed in Xiangyang, with only 20,000 troops.

Zhao Yun has always been cautious, and since he was appointed to stay in Xiangyang, he has patrolled the city defenses day and night, and sent a large number of scouts to scatter around Xiangyang in case of accidents. Zhao Yun's caution finally paid off, and just when Zhang Lang's cavalry was still twenty miles away from Xiangyang, wolf smoke rose.

Some generals thought that it might be a false alarm, thinking that it was impossible for Lu Bu to raise troops at this time, but Zhao Yun did not think so, he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, the whole city was under martial law, and at the same time ordered those old soldiers who followed Liu Bei to fight in the north and south to guard the four gates. Zhao Yun was worried that the Jingzhou army was not too reliable.

Zhang Lang rode to the city wall, and saw Zhao Yun standing on the city gate tower in full clothes, so he shouted: "Zhao Zilong, you and I are old people, why do you want to help Liu Bei?" ”

Zhao Yunzheng said awe-inspiringly: "Xuande Gongren is a gentleman, only he can correct the world!" ”

Zhang Lang laughed mockingly, "Usurping Liu Biao's family business can also be regarded as a benevolent gentleman's doing?" ”

Zhao Yundao: "Now it is Liu Qi's son who is in charge, not Xuande Gong, don't disturb the audio-visual!" ”

Zhang Lang laughed, "Zhao Zilong, so Liu Qi is your lord?" Zhao Yun was stunned and nodded, "Yes." Zhang Lang asked again: "Then if Liu Qi and Liu Bei's orders go to the left in the future, whose orders will you follow?" Zhao Zilong frowned, "Don't jump away!" Xuande Gong is finally Liu Qi's son, if the two disagree, it must be based on Liu Qi's order! ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "Zilong is Zilong in the end!" Distinguish between right and wrong! I hope that when that day comes, you will be able to truly be a loyalty! "With a wave of his hand. A troop of cavalry galloped out at once, and ran around the city, and at the same time fired arrows into the city, and swished, and countless letters of surrender were shot into the city.
